"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."

"Dusty rose and leather tones give way to dried black cherries as the 2021 SAGGI comes to life in the glass. It's soothingly round and pure in style, with ripe wild berry fruits and mineral tones that cascade throughout. Edgy and long, the 2021 leaves a spicy, tannic sensation on the finish."

"The 2021 Saggi is a blend of 62% Sangiovese, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Syrah matured for 18 months in 55% new French oak. It has layered aromas of wild berries, woodsmoke, savory herbs and floral perfume. The full-bodied palate offers concentrated, earth-laced flavors. It™s structured by sandy tannins and bright acidity and has a long, spicy finish. 2,035 cases produced."
