Remy Wines Sangiovese Red Mountain 08
Remy Wines Sangiovese 07 -At last, a Pacific Northwest Sangiovese that really tastes like the varietal and is reminiscent of Italy. The wine is made from old vine fruit from Kiona's Red Mountain vineyard.
An expressive, ample wine with red and black fruit scents and flavors. Layers of smoke, dusty black pepper, licorice add concentration and weight. Fresh, uplifting fruit and a hint of vanilla cream on the finish. Tannins are fine and barely present. Very good value.
Remy says: "The Sangiovese is from Kiona vineyards on Red Mountain. I try to make my wines true to the varietal - emphasizing the beauty fruit more than trying to emulate a winery or region."
"One thing I do believe is that certain traditional techniques are employed because they are tried and true. For instance the Barbera was barrel aged for 2 years to integrate that wonderful acid and give it an authentic style. The Sangiovese sees very little oak because I am trying to emphasize the fruitiness of the varietal - but gets a little passive oak to incorporate some of the more dusty characteristics that make Sangio so yummy." - the winery
