Opaque blackish purple. Fruity, leathery nose.Opened one hour prior to tasting. A bit vegetal and the thinness in the mid palate dominates this bottle. Pencil box, plums and cherries. Short finish. Not inspiring this day.

Dark purple red. Nose is intense; Plums, tobacco. Notes are from day 2 and wine really improved with air. Lacks complexity, strong tannins ("Grip" is a good word for this, oeno), tightly wound core but lacking depth and finish. Good QPR but missing depth in the middle. Medium finish.

Routinely gets decent critical reviews for the price range, so we decided to try this at a local Italian restaurant on a random Wednesday night. Fairly dark colored, the nose was not particularly interesting: A little strawberry, a little raspberry, not much in the way of secondary notes. The palate was light bodied with tart red fruit and very little depth. The acidity was good, and the alcohol wasn't prominent, but there was no finish to speak of and very little in the way of structure. In the end, it fit the occasion: A weekday wine to quaff with a meal. Fine, but entirely forgettable.

Medium red color. Some euro-funk and cherries on the nose. Robust, rich, lots of fruit and earth. Nice acidity. Pretty traditional chianti; great with dinner.

A complex, textured style, dominated by savory flavors of mushroom, fresh tobacco, grilled herbs, and touches of black and red cherry fruit. Medium bodied with high acidity and very fine tannins that provide a juicy, lively mouthfeel.

Still the traditional blend, no caberent, no merlot. Querceto has been in the family since 1898 when the winery was founded. Has some of the barrel smoke that you can get on Chiantis. Tart and tangy fruit, shows its youth, higher acid towards the back. Ok at $14, way more fun if it was $9.

Notes of dark berries, cherry, smoke, dead leaves, eucalyptus, and leather. Medium bodied with good grip and medium plus acid.

Tart red fruit and tannins but not well-integrated.
