Wine Details
Price:
$30.00 per bottle
Description:
This is the second to last vintage for me. I’m not happy about that but it has been to hard to get the grapes the way I want them and it’s an orphan grape and I don’t have the time or money to try to promote it almost by myself. Once again the same tune, black in color, huge nose of oak, (2+ years) with black fruit nose, plums, pumpkins and spices including cinnamon. Drake says it’s a savory wine… but he’s a kid! I agree with him, it’s the most drinkable Lagrien at release yet. A mere 40 cases this year and even less next year. I’m sorry but 9 vintages are enough for me… for now.

Varietal Definition
Lagrein:
A famous varietal in the Trentino/Alto Adige area of northern Italy. Usually overproduced into making light reds with little character, there are versions that are worthy of the proper care they were given. Sumptuous, rich reds and perfumed rosés from Lagrein can be very good and will also improve with cellaring, sometimes lasting up to ten years. Black plums, fresh red cherries and alpine grass can be found in the better versions. Also grown with limited success in Australia.
