Ruby color. Cherries, earthy elements, vanilla, and a bit of alcohol on the nose. Light to medium body with soft, slightly chalky tannins and tart acidity. Initially nice on the palate but an herbal element pops out, which was a bit to prominent. A fairly short finish which shows the herbal element and a touch of alcohol. Not bad as a week night pizza wine, but not much more. Wasn't expecting too much since this only cost $6.64, and it met expectations.

Watered down garbage. All I tasted was a bit of dark cherry then alcohol. My wife made a "yuk" face when she tasted it. This wine does a disservice to Chianti. Avoid!

Leather, cherries, red fruits and some vanilla in the scent. Pretty full bodied with good tannins. Finish could be longer. Starightforward Chianti that would most likely go well with most foods.

Soft black cherry nose, short cherry palate. Finish was mildly acidic with prevalent alcohol.

Simple quaff. Reminds me of Montecillo but even a little lighter. Acid is in check and should worked with simple pasta fairly well.

Unpleasant cheap Chianti flashback. Fake and chemically. A fiasco!

Simple, juicy Chianti. Aromas and flavors of smoky, sour cherry with chalky tannins. Decent for around $8.

Made to make pasta sauce with italian sausage (and then drank with that same pasta). Thin and uninteresting. Would not buy again.
