Spicy, a little fruit. Thin & somewhat lacking in complexity, but acceptable. Try with lighter fare. Stronger meats and cheeses overpower this one.

Take out pizza wine, a little thin and lacking character but functional with a nice slice.

It's a fine wine (said in an Irish accent). Nothing great, but not at all bad. Fairly dry, in a good way. It's neither remarkable nor extraordinary. Looking for a cheap chianti? This is what you need, mate!

Immediate dry acidic taste of tannins. Dries your tongue in the middle. Soft finish.
