Ricasoli 1411 Chianti Classico

Saturday's tasting was on two wines.  Customers enjoyed both of these and feedback was very positive. 

Cupcake 2010 Sauvignon Blanc ($10) is from Marlborough, New Zealand.  I reviewed this on May, 7th.  As before, this was crisp, refreshing, and enjoyable.  

Ricasoli 1411  2008 Chianti Classico ($13) is from  the Chianti region in Italy.  It is a blend of Sangiovese and complimentary grapes.  A lush black cherry aroma.  The flavor is spice, with a hint of black cherry.  Tannins are mild and this has a thin mouthfeel.  Customers enjoyed this and it sold well.
