Tasting: Kris Heart Rosso


Name - Kris Heart Rosso
Variety - Merlot Blend
Region - Chianti Region
Country - Italy
Year - 2009
Price - $10.99

Wine Review - This wine is garnet in color with intense aromas of dense blackberries, spicy currants and leather.  Ripe fruit flavors are balanced by lively acidity, making this an excellent wine to enjoy with food.

Personal Review - I was expecting to hate this wine simply because I tend to enjoy more white wines; however, I was pleasantly surprised!  It was not as dry as red wines, which I attributed to it being a blend.  It was a little fruity, but a minor dry after taste.  I would drink it again if it was offered to me, but I would choose other wines over this.

Food - Food was not served at the Gourmet Pantry with this tasting, so I am unsure how it would pair.
