Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, October 2010

The 2008 Chianti Classico Querceto is an attractive, mid-weight Chianti with plenty of bright Sangiovese red fruit and lovely overall balance. The fruit turns a touch darker and richer as the wine sits in the glass, but this remains a fresh, vinous Chianti best enjoyed in its youth. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2013. -Antonio Galloni

Bright red. Reticent aromas of redcurrant, cardamom and lily. Enters vibrant and fresh, but with somewhat unforthcoming flavors of redcurrant, dark cherry and minerals. The tannins are ripe but today this finishes a bit chunky; seems to need another year in the bottle to develop further complexity. 88(+?) points -Ian D'Agata


Wine Spectator, August 2010

Sweet raspberry and flowers on the nose lead to a medium body, with delicate tannins and a light vanilla bean finish. Drink now. 15,000 cases made. -JS
