2015 Helix Stillwater Creek Vineyard Sangiovese
|
"2015 gifted one of the warmest Washington vintages on record and delivered with it unexpected, amazingly high acidity enabling us to jump at the opportunity to produce a traditional, rustic Sangiovese. It was cellared in neutral French oak, much of it in large barrels, for an extended period allowing for traditional character development. Scents of raspberry jam, red currant and sun dried tomato circulate with hints of pepper, sandalwood and savory herb.
Additional time reveals distinguished cherry with subtle leather notes. A wonderful soft palate of very fine tannins is accompanied by perfect acidity and flavors that mirror the nose. The pinch of pepper, loamy earth, leather, Italian dark roast espresso drops and soft-grippy tannins give the wine rustic nuances." - Chuck Reininger, Winemaker
