My Rating: 3 Stars
This is an easy-drinking Chianti that seems like it would pair with just about anything, working well with both the spaghetti & meatballs and the fried chicken that I had with it. A nice cherry cola and leather aroma on the nose was followed through with cherry and cedar box flavors on the palate. It had a fairly light feel in the mouth, with a nice balance of acidity that cut through the spaghetti marinara sauce with ease. It ended with a medium length, very slightly tannic finish. For $15, this wine makes a nice dinner wine to have plenty of on hand.
