Pepi Colline di Sassi 1998

Napa Valley, California, United StatesA mixture of 54/24/18 sangiovese/cabernet sauvignon/merlot from prime Napa and Carneros vineyards. Very peppery, spicy, roasted earth, prune plum, gamey leather aromas. Rich, round, well balanced wit ripe prune plum, gamey, vanilla, leather and chocolate flavours. Ripe tannins in the finish with some nice toasty oak. Needs about 2-3 years to fully flesh out but well done.Tasted: 01 March 2001Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
