Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: May 22, March 7, January 4 and December 16.

Tasting note:

Juicy with ripe black plums, berries and dark spices. Some pepper on the nose. Full-bodied, tasty and good value for the price point. Food matches: roasts, grilled meats, game and full-flavoured dishes.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Catharine Vandelinde rated this wine as 95/100
Janelle Haldenby rated this wine as 89/100
The grapes are grown in the appellation of CHIANTI, predominately the Chianti Colline Senesi area, a historic wine district. This wine region lies between the ancient and beautiful cities of Florence and Siena.

Produced in accordance with the best tradition of CHIANTI wines —DOCG regulations mandate the strict percentage of grapes, low yield levels, alcohol volume and aging requirements —together with temperature-controlled technology.
