The 2007 Lagrein Riserva Taber offers up dark fruit, herbs, minerals, tar, smoke, licorice and French oak in a powerful, structured style. This is a supremely elegant, silky Lagrein endowed with tons of personality and class. Stylistically, the Taber is less in-your-face than the Greiser Prestige Line, but it offers more finesse, elegance and minerality. The oak seems to have come down from recent vintages as well. The Taber is a beautiful, reference-point Lagrein. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2017. St. Magdalena remains a great source for plump, juicy Lagreins.Importer: WorldWine Cellars, Minneapolis, MN; tel.
