Medium Ruby color. Very mild nose of cherry and something vaguely earthy. Light on the palate with medium acidity and short medicinal aftertaste. This is what Chianti Light would taste like. All the flavors and characteristics of a good Chianti are dialed down to a four. At $5 at Trader Joe's I suppose you could still argue it has good QPR. But geez, man, have some standards!

Medium transparent ruby. Light to moderate tannins. Bright and lively both on nose and palate. Good balance of tart and sweet red cherry flavors, with building tannic backbone. Third bottle - this is best of three. Tasting notes third day after opening (with proper storage).
