Literally smells and tastes like pork. I kinda dig it.

HWT - nice but not as bold or spicy as some Sangiovese

Really enjoyable and a nice surprise for domestic Sangiovese. 15% abv is high but not noticeable on the palette. Ripe red cherry, licorice and baked rhubarb. Nice alternative for those who like new world Grenache or Zinfandel

For the second straight year, this Washington Sangiovese captivates with its varietally precise aromas and flavors of red berries, dried cherry, menthol and flowers. Its succulent balance of fruit sweetness and acidity and its excellent back-end grip make it a flexible dinner companion. $20.00 (Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, October 2018)

Well structured, nicely balanced with an abundance of succulent red and black fruits, light mouth coating tannins at the tasty finish. A bit heftier than a Tuscan Chianti but it went well with a Kielbasa sausage and lentil soup.

Not quite as much of the pure cherry of Tuscan Sangiovese, but you can taste it. Would I have known it was Sangiovese blind? Maybe. Little more bulk and backbone, less soft than a Chianti Classico. Very nice, though. I’d get it again

First sample of Washington. Not bad...after tasting 11 bottles (all 29 to 45 years old). Let’s try this vineyard again. To Jack!
