Wine of the Week!

Banfi 2000 Chianti Classico
Riserva $17
Tuscany, Italy
Winemaker's
Notes:
This Chianti Classico exemplifies a modern approach to making
this very traditional wine. It's a satisfying middleweight with
good flavor intensity and well-balanced structure, wrapping classic
flavors in a sleek package. It has enticing aromas of tart red
cherries, saddle leather and a hint of pungent dried herbs. In
the mouth, it delivers bright flavors of dried red cherries against
the classic Tuscan background of leather and oriental spice. The
finish is long and aromatic, with crisp acidity supporting the
lingering flavor of red Michigan pie cherries.
Notes
on our Wines of the Week, Recommendations, and Picks:
When you read our thoughts, please remember that
you may think differently. A particular wine may be your favorite
and not on our list. Well, don't stop buying it because of that.
In fact, you may want to email
us and let us know about it. These are our opinions but our
FIRST recommendation is to go by your own palate.
A couple of other thoughts . . . first, prices
are approximate. They'll vary. Second, different vintages mean
different grapes and different tastes so our recommendation for
a 2000 Merlot may not hold for 2001.
And lastly, we remind you to drink responsibly!
Now, all that said, here is a summary of links to our suggestions.
Find one (or more) and pop the cork!
