For my taste, this is an excellent Chianti. A little expensive at $22, but I can see why. Pretty good right upon uncorking. That is sometimes important, since many times when I just want some wine but don't have time to wait, I'll just grab one of these from the cellar. A bit of a waste, for sure, given the fact that a couple of hours of patience will reveal a lot more of the wonderfully balanced red fruit and spices. Uncomplicated but charming.

bright cherry nose, bright palate showing juicy red fruits, dried herbs and a streak of mineral on the finish, this holds up well to many foods and should be on every bistro wine menu, great value pick

Tart cherry with a hint of minerality. Hot, with pronounced acid and gripping tannins. Might settle down with age. Enjoyable, but nothing special.

Had some nice spice to it, but wasn't as fruit-forward as I had hoped.

Tart and vivid, but a little too medicinal.

Tasty Cherry with full body. Great now but.....Wine can benefit more after two years in the bottle.

Nice easy Chianti, Barnyard and leather, some dark berries as well. Drinking well now but could probably use a few years.
