Brought this to a wine tasting comparing grapes from different regions. Compared this wine to Italian Chianti and was very disappointed. Very strong on the pepper. It was the least favorite of the group.

This Chianti is a solid performer right out of the bottle. I did not find that it improved dramatically after decanting but was perfect to pop the cork and enjoy with lasagna. While it's not overly complex it is a good Chianti for the price.

Really enjoyed this wine. I let it decant for 1.5 hours while the turkey finished cooking on a pre-thanksgiving dinner. It was really smooth as I would expect from a Southern Rhone wine. Great QPR at $12.99 from Costco. Loved it so much, I went back for a case before they sold out.
