Praxis Lagrein 2007

Praxis, Central Coast, Lagrein 2007 My hat is off to Praxis for making wine from this grape, so celebrated in the Alto Adige yet almost unknown in California. The New and Old Worlds come together in the glass with ripe cherry fruit, a dusting of vanilla, a little warmth and the structure this grape can provide – nicely done. This wine is destined for the dinner table, prime to drink with grilled chicken sausages. Proprietors Bill and Susan Arbios. Vinted and bottled in Sebastopol 13.5% $16.99, purchased at Traverso’s Praxis Cellars
