May 12, 2014 - I am not much of an Italian wine guy. Scratch that. I am not an Italian wine guy. I get the regions (for the most part), I understand the varieties (for the most part). I find the whites disjointed and the reds overly stewed. Having said all that, I have had some very good luck with this wine: black cherry and a bit of heat on the nose, but on the palate, this is spot on. Great Chianti acidity that invites all types of cuisine, with some fruit up front that promotes a grin. Very Good, maybe more. thedrunkencyclist.com

February 8, 2014 - Big, bold, almost super tuscan like Chianti. Lovely nose and very solid length of the wine. Excellent QPR as well.

January 23, 2014 - I was really happy with this wine this go around, there were some nice fruit flavors with a bit of earth and ample acidity. I opened this on pizza night and this was near perfect for the meal. Very Good. thedrunkencyclist.com

May 7, 2013 - Solid, and uncomplicated wine that is perfect for pizza or pasta. There is some unmistakable age on it, but it has yet to reach the "stewed fruit" stage that I have seen in quite a few Chianti. Just enough acidity to help the food, but not enough fruit to be consumed on its own. Good. thedrunkencyclist.com

January 26, 2013 - This is a great food wine. The wine has some earth and berry with slight tannins. It would be interesting to see how the '07 tastes.
