The nose opens with classic red fruits and a floral and dusty note that wafts from the glass, then delightful and seductive dark fruit and baked clay notes release with additional time in the glass and swirling. Full-bodied, the Sangiovese blend offers a firm mouthfeel and bright and energetic cherry flavors before dusty florals grip the mid-palate. The wine continues to uncoil, offering notes of black raspberry over the succulent, food-friendly finish and lingering tannic edge.

Its combination of fine-grained tannins and crisp acidity is the perfect foil for rich flavors of tart black cherries, vanilla beans and mocha lattes. The wine's aromas of dried rose petals, sweet raspberries and cacao nibs are equally pleasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Wine Enthusiast, 93 pts. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes of cassis, blackberries, black coffee, cocoa powder, toasted cedar and graphite.

Terrific red and black fruits, white pepper, sandalwood, and smoky oak all emerge on the nose, and it’s medium to full-bodied, has a balanced, layered mouthfeel, good length on the finish, and an overriding sense of purity and elegance that you don’t find often in the vintage. It will have 10-15 years of longevity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Jeb Dunnuck, 93 pts.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"woodswholesalewine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49205889564928,"sku":"F1B","price":69.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/0964\/7360\/files\/saggibtl.jpg?v=1787088903","url":"https:\/\/gcona.com\/products\/2020-long-shadows-saggi-columbia-valley-usa-750ml","provider":"Gcona","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
