Drank 5/25/20. Very nice with lasagne.

Nose of earth, black cherry, and cranberry opens to flavors of black cherry, leather, and earth. Very nice balance. Medium finish dominated by black cherry , earth and medium plus tannins. Give this one a 30 + minute decant and a bit of a chill.

3/21/8/4/3 +50 =89 pts.
Unbelievable value Would highly recommend as a "house italian".

Drank 8/8/20. Decent with grilled pizza, but lasagna makes a better pairing.

See previous notes. Enjoyed a bit less this time, but a great value nonetheless. Again, better after an hour of air.

Dry, fruitful l, however sour with a ton of tart. The sourness overshadows any detailed fruit.

I really enjoyed this inexpensive Chianti. If your Costco has it buy 6 or more!

Nice enough for a Tuesday night! Fruit and tannins were ample for a hearty pasta tomato sauce and spicy sausage dish. But tight. Needs some time. Still, good juice for the money.
