The 2006 Lagrein Gries Berger-Gei is the showstopper in this line-up. This explosive Lagrein possesses remarkable depth and purity in its dark red berries, flowers, sweet spices, minerals, herbs and toasted oak. The wine offers superb length, with fine tannins and a long, elegant finish. The use of French oak is especially beautiful in this vintage, something that hasn’t always been the case. This supple, generous red is textbook Lagrein. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2016. Importer: Petit Pois, Moorestown, NJ; tel. (856) 608-9644
