2004 Renzo Masi Chianti Riserva

This was nice little chianti I found, priced around $14 dollars. While it might have been a little more new world in style, it was a wonderfully simple and all-together enjoyable wine. Made in a richer style, with bigger fruit, the wine had a dark color, and a floral nose. The taste was full of earth, cherries, and lavender. There was a good backbone of acidity running through the wine and the tannins were fairly noticeable. Contrasting with the dryness however was a ton of big fruit giving this wine a huge presence. Overall I crowd-pleaser.
