  Decanted for 2.5 hours. Nice for a Sangio.

  Nice wine! Beautiful ruby in color with aromas of red fruit like
  cherry and strawberry. It also had nice flavors cherry, strawberry and raspberry. This medium bodied wine has a silky texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

  Agree w/RP 93. Tannic w/good fruit (dark cherry) and balance, once decanted. Making Brunello in Washington! Che cazzo fai!

  Interesting combo of typical Sangiovese cherry and bright acid with Rocks District "dirty" flavors of olive and earth. Beautiful texture and aromatics.

  Moderately translucent dark cherry red with a hint of developed maroon hue. Somewhat shy nose with restrained aromas of tangy red berries, some dusty earth, light savory wood tones and hint of black cherries. The wine is dry, lively and pretty rich on the palate with moderately full-body and pretty fruit-driven flavors of ripe red fruits, sour cherry bitterness, some earthy spice, a little bit of tart cranberry and a hint of savory wood spice. The wine is moderately high in acidity with quite grippy medium-plus tannins. The finish is quite tannic and grippy with flavors of earthy spices, sour cherry bitterness, some tart cranberries, a hint of bittersweet dark chocolate and a touch of sweeter dark fruit.
  
  A decent and pretty balanced WA Sangiovese that is surprisingly recognizable example of the variety, showing good sense of sour cherry character, acidity and tannins without too much obfuscating oak. However, the wine drinks more like a good warm-vintage Chianti Classico, but it is priced more like a Riserva Brunello. This is a pleasant and well-made effort, but at 44,90€ it definitely doesn't show good value: unless I want to have something atypical - Sangiovese from Washington - I have no good explanation why I'd buy this over any good Chianti Classico or Brunello.
