Talk about value. Very juicy strawberry and cherries. Pleasing amount of ripeness with just enough tannins to keep it approachble but satisfying.

Nice acid. Decent tannins. Stays on the tongue for a little while. Rounder for a chianti. Not super complex. Somewhat lush. Not super dry. Salty aroma. Minerally for a read. (& Taste - 4.2 - Would buy again)

Pretty wine. Simple. Cherry and a bit of leather. Not terribly complex. Dry finish.

Classic Chianti. Leather, fruit and those wound up tannins that open in the glass. Decant it and your enjoyment will go up.

This family who owns the restaurant used to sell this wine for the winery family; nice to see they are still loyal! Super dry and slight tang on the finish.

Strong cherry all around. Some nice hints of earth and tobacco as well. Paired well with lasagna and pizza.
