Saggi 2007 Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $45

Dark, dusty, strongly scented with barrel toast, coffee grounds and incense, this is the most substantial and complete version to date. Balancing cherry and plum fruit against the pretty barrel-infused tannins, it glides gracefully across the palate into a seamless finish. Saggi is the Long Shadows collaboration with Tuscany’s Ambrogio and Giovanni Folonari. the… — P.G. (12/31/2010)

Saggi 2004 Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $45

This blend is done along super Tuscan lines, about one-third Sangiovese, one-third Cabernet Sauvignon, and the other third Syrah and some not-so-Tuscan Barbera.

Price $45

There are signs that Saggi is gaining complexity, as it enters with good texture and a mix of berries and spice. But it tails off quickly, fading gently into simple strawberry and cherry flavors, accented with the flavors of French oak, 60% new. — P.G. (9/1/2009)
