Dark and velvety but very pleasant. Slightly tannic but nowhere near what I was expecting - surprisingly quaffable. — 9 years ago

The inky black/garnet '11 Tobin James Lagrein 'Silver Reserve' is a new varietal for me. This Italian grape is quite Syrah-like with concentrated dried plum, blackberry, black tea and spice box aromas. Rich and chewy with a nice dollop of sweet oak on the mid-palate. Medium finish with lingering dark fruit on the back end. Looking forward to my next bottle. — 9 years ago

Really ballsy and unique wine. Today’s tasting in Yountville will go down as one of my favorites of all time. First I’d ever heard of this grape, grown in Paso. Black fruit covered in licorice. If you go (and I’d highly recommend it), go for the cheese pairing it’s well worth it. — 6 years ago
Absolutely delicious. Prefect pair for grilled pork, similar to a dryer Zinfandel. Reasonably full bodied but not so big as to demand a big steak. — 6 years ago
Roasted plums, raspberry, smoke. Savory & Syrah-like, except for a pronounced Alpine minerality. No reduction, no brett. — 8 years ago
I'm thinking Italian Beaujolais...... Lite but packed with flavor — 8 years ago
Cherry nose with sour cherry notes on the palate pretty tart . This wine hums when it's matched with food. Oregano really ignites a perfume of raspberry and candied flower. — 8 years ago

Medium–light bodied, nice chilled. Dark cherry, floral but still dry, light tannins, mineral. From Fermented Grapes on Vanderbilt. — 6 years ago
Good balance of fruit, tannins, and acid. Nice depth. 2010 — 6 years ago
Usual lovely balance that you get in Lagrein Riserva. Missing out on some of the fruit and presence in the mouth that you get with the Muri Gries — 7 years ago
Cherries and nice acidity... Served it with Nona's homemade ravioli and was delicious! — 7 years ago
Chardonnay do sim do Tirol. Boa acidez e tem corpo, boa surpresa — 8 years ago
Very good interaction with fresh thyme — 8 years ago
Smoked pepperoni, pine, dried red berries, hints of vanilla foam and a nice, lingering minerality of stones & rocks evaporating rain. Spice red and black fruit, subtle tartness with a long, pleasant, fruity bitterness on the finish. Great complexity for the price! — 9 years ago
