Monrosso Chianti (Italy, 2007)

Category: Chianti — Mike @ 8:07 pm

	This is a Chianti that we picked up from Costco and enjoyed with our delicious chipotle beef tacos on a quiet Monday night. Chianti’s are often such a great choice when choosing a wine to go with your meal because the Italians have designed them to be built for food. They can go very well with a wide variety of foods.
	$10 from Costco

Smells of bright vanilla and strawberry shortcake. Peppery with a sweet hint of cherry. Medium finish and smooth mouth feel. This wine was great with our meal as was expected from a Chianti, but after our food was done it seemed to fall flat a bit… like a great basketball player who is traded to a different team and never reaches the same level of productivity without their star point guard by their side setting them up for easy points game after game.
