Joey Wickham 2004 Long Shadows Wineries "Saggi," Columbia Valley, Washington TASTING NOTES: This elegant wine displays dark cherry aromas and flavors combined with a hint of nutmeg. The delicious Tuscan-style blend has refined yet concentrated tannins that enhance the wine's silky mouthfeel and lengthy finish. DISCOVERY: Acclaimed winemakers from major growing regions around the world create Long Shadows' ultra-premium wines. Saggi is produced by a father-and-son team, Ambrogio and Giovanni Folonari, who have incorporated family techniques that date to the late 1700s. They are part of one of the oldest and most prestigious Tuscan wine families. With Saggi, Ambrogio and Giovanni have created a true Tuscan-style wine in a way that showcases the viticultural excellence of Washington state's Columbia Valley. —K.
