Tasting- Codirosso

Name: Codirosso Chianti
Variety: Chianti
Region: Tuscany
Country: Italy
Year: 2014
Price: Regular $13, Sale $7.95

Winery Review: Ruby red color with purple reflections.  Intense vinous bouquet with hints of violets and dark cherry fruit. The flavor is full of ripe fruit and a hint of spice. It is well balanced and dry. The finish is persistent and satisfying.

My Review: This wine first caught my eye from the dark, "plumy red" color. I didn't like the smell because the fumes were very alcoholic smelling. The wine went down very smoothly and I thought it was a rather light red wine which I enjoy. I didn't get a cherry taste but I could taste a hint of spice in the finish. 
I did not have food with this wine.
