Columbia Winery Red Willow Sangiovese 1999
Varietal: Sangiovese
Vineyard: Columbia Winery
Region: Columbia Valley, Washington
This vintage marries Sangiovese Grosso from the East Chapel slope with Sangiovese Piccolo and Grosso from the Olney Springs slope, both at the Red Willow Vineyard. The growing season was warm, dry, sunny and unusually long. The fruit was hand-harvested in early-October. The resulting wine exhibits complex flavors of cherries and raspberries complemented by touches of oak and vanilla.
