90 points Wine Spectator: "[$28 list] Floral, graphite and cherry aromas and flavors are the hallmarks of this silky, vibrant red. Balanced, with firm tannins on the back end. Needs time to integrate. Fine length. Best from 2016 through 2027. (2/28/15)"

90 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "This is the second year that this wine has been made with the first edition of "Ama" being 2010. The 2011 Chianti Classico Ama is 90% Sangiovese with 10% Merlot. Proprietor Marco Pallanti says it is a wine "that you drink with your nose." I liked those words because the bouquet is indeed the wine's most compelling feature. Because many of the estate vineyards have been replanted, fruit from the younger vines goes into the Il Chiuso (the current vintage on the market is the 2011). But starting in 2010, enough fruit was produced to make this wine. This is an immediate and pristine red wine with aromas of elegant blue flowers and wild berry. (10/29/15)"
