Horse Heaven Hills
2016 Limited Release Sangiovese
For this blend I put a Washington stamp on a tradition of some of the great wines of Italy. By blending 80% Sangiovese with non-Italian varieties (this time 20% Cabernet) I captured the fresh, bright red fruit, leather, and tobacco of Sangiovese and added depth, softness and complexity. Perhaps a new WA tradition.
