Tasting - Lavarini Valpolicella Classico

Name: Lavarini Valpolicella Classico
Variety: 65% Corvina Veronese, 25% Rondinella and 10% Molinara blend
Region: Valpolicella
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $6.95
Review: The red ruby color and the dry taste give this wine joviality and cordiality. It is fresh and fruity, with lovely strawberry and cherry aromas and flavors, with nice spice and a silky texture.

My Review: To me the wine had a very dusty red color. I could smell the strawberries in the wine, but I could not taste them because I was overwhelmed by the spice flavors. There was so much spice it almost made the wine seem smoky, like I was drinking a wood chip used to cook barbecue.

Food? I did not have this wine with food.
