Seghesio Omaggio 2001
Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California, United States"Omaggio" is Italian for homage and is a tribute to Eduardo and Angela Seghesio who purchased the family's first vineyard in America in 1895. The first vintage of this small lot wine was from the Centennial harvest in 1995. A blend of 60-40 cabernet sauvignon-sangiovese, it has very spicy, ripe blackberry, peppery, saddle leather, mocha, compost and cassis aromas with some earthy, game notes. A love ripe and concentrated red with some grip and grainy tannins. Plum jam, peppery, orange rind, cassis and savoury, vanilla flavours fill out the palate. Well made, long and just a touch hot and rustic, this will age well for 5-10 years and is better than most of the super-Tuscans at a lower cost.Tasted: 15 October 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $63.00 | 750ml | Speculative - Pacific Wine and Spirits |
