This was good! Didn’t taste like other blends and stayed consistent. Drank in its own after a night of wine shopping. Hints of vanilla and undertones of caramel and raisins. — 5 months ago
Not awful but close. Not the best aftertaste. Strong taste of chalk and a bit medicinal. Like a Ludens cough drop. — 7 months ago
Bold colors of red and brown to match the bold taste. Tart at first with increasing tannins as we drank. Delicious with dinner at Allora, arancini and chicken parm and burrata and res peppers, and tortellini with braised short ribs. — 3 months ago
Pleasantly surprised at how good this blend was considering the lower price point! The Zinfandel is the strongest taste I’m getting with strong cherry and tart tastes along with more subtle hints of cinnamon on some sips. An excellent wine with meat and greet on its own. Had NYE at Allora with Arancini, burrata and roasted peppers and braised beef with and without pasta. — 4 months ago
2nd go around for this wine . First time it was excellent after some Zins and Italian food. This time it was afar a Nero D’Avola and not as good. Not sure if the Nero D’Avola influences it but it was very dry and tannic which isn’t a bad thing but I was wasn’t expecting. Will try again for sure though. — 8 months ago
Had NYE after dinner. An excellent Cab with nice notes of tobacco which I’m a fan of. Scents of tobacco permeate each sip. Nice notes of vanilla as well. Would definitely purchase this again! — 4 months ago
Had on its own. Consistent taste for the full bottle. Peppery with a bit of cigar box. Velvety smooth! When held on the tongue some fruit, particularly cherry, comes through. Excellent wine. — 5 months ago
Nice but surprisingly light. Went very well with a variety of foods which was nice. Had with fires tomatoes and caprese. Also with Bolognese. At Cucina Carini for birthday dinner. — 8 months ago

Not a typical Chianti IMO and not sure if it was doing a blind tastes test I would ever guess Chianti. That being said it’s a super drinkable wine that like most wines, gets better as it sits. Enjoyable at the first sip and even more so at the last! This might be a good introduction to Chianti for first-timers. — 12 days ago
