Ratings & Reviews
90 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine:"Ripe damson preserves and black currant notes mix with hints of creamy licorice snap, smoke, graphite and espresso in this somewhat burly red. Fresh and lively, with a beefy note on the finish. Best from 2012 through 2017."—A.N. (Aug 10, 2011)
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:"The 2009 Lagrein is a relatively easygoing, feminine Lagrein with good varietal character and fine overall balance. The mid-weight style seems best suited to near-term enjoyment, while the wine retains its undeniable juiciness and appeal. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014." - Antonio Galloni (Feb 2011)
