Columbia Winery Sangiovese Red Willow Vineyard David Lake Signature Series 2000

Yakima Valley, Columbia Valley, Washington, United StatesThe Red Willow sangiovese comes off five separate blocks and is usually the last variety to be picked in mid to late October. Winemaker David Lake says as the vines age the crop levels are coming down and the sangiovese is showing more backbone. The nose has a pronounced cherry scent; the flavours are mix of cherry coffee and mocha flavours.Tasted: 01 March 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
