Rated 94
Beautiful red fruits, cedary spices, dried flowers, tobacco, and a kiss of leather all emerge from the 2021 Saggi Red Wine, a seamless red based on 62% Sangiovese, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 12% Syrah. With medium-bodied richness, it has plenty of mid-palate depth, ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish. This is one sensational Sangiovese from Washington that readers will love. It should keep for a decade. Drinking Window 2024-2034.
