Note di degustazione
The light ruby-hued 2021 Sangiovese Guido has a spicy, perfumed nose of mostly red fruits, cured meats, and leather. This carries to a medium to full-bodied Sangiovese that's balanced, has wonderful purity of fruit, soft tannins, and a great finish. It's as charming and seductive as they come and is perfect for drinking over the coming 5-7 years or so. The big news for K Vintners is the departure of winemaker Brennon Leighton, who has worked side by side with Charles Smith for years now. The departure was announced after my visit and tasting, so I’ll report on this winemaking change next year. This report looks primarily at the 2021s from K Vintners, which is clearly a strong vintage for the estate.

Dusty florals and cedary spice give way to red currant and savory herbs as the 2021 Sangiovese Guido slowly unfurls in the glass. It opens with a pleasant inner sweetness, sending violet and lavender shades across the palate. Depths of ripe raspberry and blueberry fruits linger as the 2021 finishes spicy and fresh. The fruit here comes from Jack's Vineyard, one of the first parcels planted in the Rocks District in 1986.
