Aficionados of dry Chianti may stop reading now, assuming any actually are. Which I doubt. Anyway, this inexpensive Trader Joe's offering most likely won't win any awards, but it certainly is a pleasant, easily-drinkable wine. I served it with a pleasant, easily-eatable meal, which was a pleasant and easily-enjoyable experience for my family. The nose has some blackberry and pepper, maybe a little anise, which went well with the fennel in the meal. The taste is at first grapey and slightly fruity-sweet; the finish more tannic and peppery. I like it a lot, but if you read my other reviews, you'll find that I tend to like nearly EVERYTHING.

Lots of fruit on the nose; made me scared that it would be sweeter than I wanted (in a weird way) -- BUT, it wasn't. Not as dry as I wanted, but it was pleasant enough for the price. Perfect for meat pizza.

For a very cheap Chianti, it didn't have that super cheap Chianti taste that you usually get at this price point. Nothing to write home about, but completely drinkable and fine with weeknight pasta.

Right when I opened it, it let out that stinky cheese smell, like a camembert. Then as it opened up a bit it had a very sweet raspberry jam smell, that complemented the cheese smell. And it didn't taste unlike its smell, raspberry jam and stinky cheese. It was not too sweet or too dry, but lacked a little bit of body.
