Yellow Hawk Cellar 2004 Sangiovese (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US /
Variety: Sangiovese Washington
Winery: Yellow Hawk Cellar / Columbia Valley (WA)

Good vineyard sources—Ranch at the End, Chandler Reach and Willow Crest—but the bitter, leathery flavors impact all these wines. Here it’s less intrusive than in the Barbera, but it still fouls the finish with bacterial funk. Somewhere in here is some pretty cherry fruit.
