Very good Chianti. This is a wine that needs food to accompany it—it's not a cocktail. Full-bodied, fruity nose, dark berries on the palate. Nice structure. Peppery.

Red fruit, red roses, sweet tobacco, pine, and menthol. Nicely balanced.

This is another decent Italian food wine. It has bright cherries and pepper spice up front, with enough residual sugar to stand up to spicy foods.

Ruby with berry fruit aromas, tobacco and herb notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry with cedar and spice notes. Fine tannins, good balance with acidity, medium+ finish ending with toasty oak character. Drink now, food friendly, nice value!

Deep Ruby with concentrated black fruit aromas and earthy notes. On the palate blackberry and blueberry flavors with garden herbs and cedar notes. Tannins are firm, medium finish ending with earthy character. Good value.

Good body and smooth tannins, not too heavy so great for lunch. Went perfectly with a vegetarian pasta, complemented the tomato perfectly.

My mom asked for Chianti, there was only one on the menu and it fit the bill perfectly. Tarragon, thyme, medicinal herbs, smoke and tart cherry notes coalesce alongside a vibrant acidity linear structure. Absolutely lovely for a cozy Saturday night at the neighborhood Italian restaurant.

We had this with Thai food and it was perfect. It's medium bodied, a little fruity with some pepper or something. Opens up nicely!
