| | Tasted by robseconti@aol.com on 11/27/2019 & rated 89 points: Damn fine Chianti. Classic nose with some licorice and saddle leather. Mid palette with some bramble and wet earth. Looooong finish. Served with a sausage and mushroom pasta. Very well done. (983 views) |

| | Tasted by VinoHunter on 2/18/2018 & rated 89 points: Hard to rate this one as it went up against a phenomenal 07 Chianti. But for the $, this wine is excellent. Straightforward food friendly. (1252 views) |

| | Tasted by t_moderne on 9/23/2017 & rated 89 points: Pop and pour and tasted with some food (Thai fried rice with pork, in case you were wondering).
This is good. Dark ruby color. Clear.
Nose shows some mushrooms, vanilla and sour cherries.
In the mouth, sour cherries and a hint of vanilla. Good acidity. An inviting wine with its acidity and good red fruit profile. Has a little mushroom/fresh soil note to give it some additional depth.
This was a Last Bottle purchase and for the $12 price was a good value.
Enjoyable. (1320 views) |
| | Tasted by oakville72 on 8/3/2017 & rated 90 points: A very well-made Chianti in the new style emphasizing fruit with a seasoning of vanilla from relatively new oak barrels. There is a touch of tannin in the finish, which indicates this wine still has time to develop. (1332 views) |

| | Tasted by cmiller on 2/19/2017 & rated 90 points: Clear, garnet colored in the glass. The nose was medium in intensity, with subtle hints of red berries and spice. It was well integrated on the palate, with medium tannins and some acidity. Flavors of red berry and bright cherry. Medium finish. Quite nice. (1738 views) |
| | Tasted by studleytrey on 1/20/2017 & rated 90 points: Medium ruby to garnet color with transparency. Aromas of black cherry, earth, eucalyptus, and dried meat. Medium body and finish, medium(+) acidity, and flavors of sour cherry and lemon. Tannins are a little grippy yet, but fine with food. Solid Chianti. Nice label too. (1773 views) |
| | Tasted by BigGDaddy on 1/14/2017 & rated 90 points: Very nice structure, and wonderful QPR. Eager to conduct a much better evaluation--as this is in between Rioja and Cabernet Sauv; but it held its own. (1651 views) |
| | Tasted by GalvezGuy on 1/6/2017 & rated 91 points: Popped and poured. Nose of sour cherry, earth, leather. On palate, generous with sour cherry, spice, and earth. Crisp finish with nice grip. Very nice. Drink or hold. (1287 views) |
| | Tasted by Puteljen! on 7/27/2016 & rated 91 points: Great chianti in a farily generous, but not heavy, style. Reminds me of the chianti from Isole e Olena. Recommended! (1282 views) |
