Monrosso Chianti (Italy, 2007)

Category: ChiantiMike @ 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
Three and a Half Trophies
  • 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.
