Big and brooding. Lots of balsamic, iron, and coarse tannin. Much prefer the brighter fruit of Soldera in this vintage. — a month ago

This is a serious wine - understated, tannic, alot going on. Agree w other reviewers that this vintage may be a bit young to crack open - didn't feel fully integrated yet. — 2 months ago

Grapefruit heaven. A beautiful Sauvignon Blanc blend with three V white grapes. Strong citrus nose. Expensive but delicious. — 3 months ago

Golden coloration. On the nose, lemon, brioche, minerals. On the palate, nice creamy texture, fuller body, a touch of earthiness, but primarily long lasting citrus and lemon notes with minerality on the palate that finishes strong with those 3 notes ending with a crush of a acidity. — 5 months ago

vintage 2015 | The wood dominates the fruit, but I like this much - perhaps less true to type — 4 days ago

delicious: butterscotch - really sexy, orchard fruit juxtaposed w/salinity & minerals - full bodied, voluptuous, cellar temp was downright silky leading to long resonant finish. I've had this many times and they were always older & oxidized - would argue these are better younger — 2 months ago

OMG. Perfection. All the notes. Gotta give it to these guys. Best Chianti we have had. Had with the new Kirkland pepperoni pizza with the best ingredients possible. Must buy more now. Absolutely amazing! — 3 months ago

Year in, year out, this is my fav Chianti Classico. To me it captures all what I look for in a good every day Sangiovese - freshness, a bit of tannic edge, juicy flow, a savory sweetness to the fruit. And food friendliness!
Enticing nose with red cherries, a bit of wet undergrowth & turned earth, a bit of tomato leaf, a flowery whiff. Joyful!
Medium bodied on the palate with great energy & flow. The tannins present, a touch rustic, but in a nice way, the acidity juicy & vibrant. Nice depth and long finish.
So drinkable but also has some seriousness to it.
Love Monsanto! — 2 months ago

Fascinating to have a wine older than me. Smell was raisins - reminded me of amarone — 5 months ago

This is the type of wine I really enjoy. Earthy, not too dry, not sweet. A little dry, but not to make you pucker, medium tannins, NOT fruit forward (thank god). It tastes like an Italian red wine. Served it with a bolognese-ish pasta. Worked well, very enjoyable. Sangiovese, merlot and petit verdot. — 6 months ago
