POINTS
“This wine’s delicate violet aromas give way to juicy blackberry, black cherry and cassis flavors brushed with earth and spice, framed by light fruit-skin tannins. Balanced and fresh. (Best Buy)”

POINTS
“There’s a lovely balance to this sleek, well-knit red, with light, fine-grained tannins and herb accents layered with the juicy profile of blackberry, fig bread, Kalamata olive and mocha.”
Wine Spectator

POINTS
“The 2013 Lagrein Turmhof is plump, juicy and expressive, yet also light on its feet, all qualities that make it absolutely delicious today. Blueberry, plum, clove and licorice meld together in a juicy, forward Lagrein with plenty of near term appeal.”
