Solid, but am I wrong to think this might benefit from another year? I have five more bottles so why not.

Fine but a bit too dry and almost watery. Nothing special.

Dry, effervescent punch of earth and mineral. Really like it.

Good daily drinker when the price is right. Better next day.

Over the hill but still a nice daily red. If you own it, drink it now.

Nice, dry, daily red wine for a great price at Costco.

Fine, but not a lot going on for me. Certainly not worth the price I paid.

Deep purple. Smells like blackberry jam. Tart, with flavors of burnt wood and vanilla. Full bodied. Strong and structured. Not very interesting.

The wine looks purple colored. It smells like forest floor. It tastes like mineral, stoniness and bark. The body is medium/full. The wine has leathery texture. The wine has medium acidity.

There is a subtle effervescence to this wine that I really love.

This is a good representation of my favorite Italian red wines. I wish I could describe it better.

A bit too fruity without much aroma or complexity.

Earthy, robust, wonderful, with a lot going on. Paired great with a steak.

Straight-forward, smooth, very drinkable, but not notable.

Simple, a little too acidic, not a lot going on, without the earthiness I remember from previous vintages.

Solid, dry, very enjoyable Chianti.

Outstanding, full-flavored Cabernet that I thought drank more like a Zinfandel. Very fruity with very little tannin. Seemed mature and ready to drink.

Appears thin without a lot to say. Enjoyed the subtle earthiness.
