  Excellent, straight up Chianti. Cherry, and a little bit of dark fruit, with floral and slightly dusty notes. Moderate finish with just the right amount of acidity - noticeable but not overwhelming. Was very good with sauteed chicken, onions, and pesto, but also on its own.

  Fresh fruit, light, a little rich. Fully mature. Drink now.

  A little hillside area within Tuscany. Old vines apparently. Or rather a mix. Full fruited and shows its barrique, shows the 10% Merlot but isn't bad for all of that. Over at $21 to me.

  Fine for what it is: simple but well made, cautious but enticing nose, balanced though without real complexity. Good freshness, but also some body on this one. Nice with bolognese.

  Simple nose of muted red cherry fruit and a underlying mulled spice component. Light body with medium plus acidity, there's a bright red fruit component at the core, but not a lot of depth.
