Bright and clear deep ruby. Inviting nose of black cherry, plum, and violet. Medium bodied palate yields black cherry, black cranberry, and light patent leather surrounded by firm acidity and medium plus tannins. Food? Yes! Rich Tuscan fare or hearty American pizza will be equally at home. Can’t wait to try the Riserva! Drink now through 2028 with modest development).

The best Chianti I've ever had. Perfectly balanced with a smooth finish.

This CC punches above it's weight. Cedar on the nose. The acidity jumps out of the glass. Red berry and rustic tannins make for pleasing long finish. I'd like to try this wine from '10 and '13 to compare.
