Sandhill Single Vineyard Small Lots Sangiovese 2016, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, BC V.Q.A., Canada: A stunning wine of great complexity! Reminds me of the best of Bordeaux and Rioja, but with a purely Okanagan signature. Aromas of tanned leather, earth and dark fruit. Full-bodied, smooth and layered with a finish that doesn't end.
