Decent everyday wine. Great mouthful and balance. Slightly too edgy on the backend...lacks depth. Still in search of the perfect $15 dollar bottle. Bought 10 at exact same price range.

Not much of an aroma, but nice, smooth taste. Not oaky. From artisan shop NYC

Damn good Chianti - plenty of flavor and with a nice light finish.

Bright fruit on the nose and palate. Almost melony nose. Balanced tannins, medium bodied... Not a standout in any way but smooth and pleasant. Good value.

Pretty solid Chianti - lots of fruit and well-rounded (though could have used a touch more spice). It would pair well with a light meat dish, but good for drinking on its own

Im a big fan of Chianti and this was nothing special. For $15, it was a little pricy for a regular Chianti. It was good, but lacked the stronger oak flavors that Classico and Riserva have.
