Interesting to see that Washington State vineyards can ripen Sangio in a wide range of microclimates; this is true to the variety with tart acids, sharp flavors of berry, hints of pumpkin pie spice and tobacco, and just enough butterscotch barrel notes to fill in around the rough edges. This is good winemaking, with a tough grape.——P.G.(3/1/2009)—— 89

Pure Sangio, has soft, seductive fruit and meat flavors. As it sits in the glass scents of tobacco and rose petals come into play, but in the mouth it’s all about butterscotch and strawberries. Nicely done.——P.G.(12/31/2007)—— 88
