  Intense dark berry and slightly woody earthy nose. First sip is a little acidic with moderate tannins. Second taste dark fruit or cherries, star anaise and a lingering slight sweetness. Third sip leaves delicious tannins and dryness on the tongue with a lingering rich mix of flavour. This wine rates well and pleased I bought six.

  Really enjoyed this wine with pizza. Really liked the wine better when I knew the price. Bright ruby hue. Nose is not overly distinguishing-- red fruit. Nicely balanced, med-long finish, cherry, slightly tart at beginning. Wife and I were surprised. Given community responses, we've learned that it's all a matter of the moment. Perhaps the great cool evening with family made the wine taste better. I'd be willing to try another bottle-- but will have to search it out.

  His was a nice Chianti Classico. Berries and nice tannins.

  Very useable wine. Not particularly complex or challenging but opens quickly and drinks nicely. Pairs well with food in general.
