Had this wine with dinner, pored from a fresh bottle. I can't remember everything, but i do remember EXCELLENT structure, good balance, great big tannins, good mouth feel. Cranberries galore! Literally got a cranberry juice cocktail note on the nose, very evident. This was a excellent wine with my meal and really elevated it. Love to try this one alone and see what happens.

vegetal nose, contains 5% merlot though I’m not sure I can really tell. Easy to drink, non-objectionable, less aciditic than some recent chianti. Good sipper for the price point.
