Saperavi is originally from the Republic of Georgia where it is easily the most widely planted variety. Saperavi means "pigment" or "dye" in the Georgian Language and refers to the extraordinarily deep colour of the variety. This intense colour combined with the variety's naturally high acidity and tannin levels produce a structured, powerful wine with the capacity for extended ageing.
Dan Traucki review from SYMPHONIA 2008 KING VALLEY SAPERAVI
Purple colour that is awesome for its age, gentle aromas of tea leaves, gorgeous mouth filling flavours with a tight finish.
This is definitely a food wine- the richer the better. AMAZING
