Seghesio Family Vineyards Sangiovese, Alexander Valley, USA 2001

Description

The 2001 Seghesio Family Vineyards Sangiovese from Seghesio Family Vineyards in Alexander Valley is a mature California expression of this classic Italian variety. When young, it showed bright cherry fruit, spice, firm tannin, and vibrant acidity that gave it structure and energy.

With extended time in bottle, well stored examples now reveal dried cherry, blackberry, and currant layered with earthy spice, leather, and subtle herbal notes. The tannins have softened, and the acidity continues to frame the wine, giving it a refined, savory character and a balanced, fully evolved profile.
