2020 Orfila Vineyards LagreinSan Luis Obispo County more |
5/5/2023 - TheSagePalate Likes this wine: 92 pointsColor is dark purple. A clear miniscus, but very thin on this wine. Rich aromatics of currants and ripe black fruits. Full bodied, low acid. Smooth and light oaky notes, but not coming across as vanilla. Rich aromatics of currants and black fruits. Very elegant black cherry bursting across my palate. Jammy yet dry, and then soft tannins take over. Medium to long finish. |

8/8/2022 - R2-D2 wrote: 86 pointsSweet, candied cherries in the nose, floral; reminiscent of Chianti Classico Riserva. This is just juicy red fruit, gravelly minerals, and some oak. Not impressive, with no real depth, but also not offensive. Easy to drink and upfront. |
