Description

Red Wine: 2012 | Lachini Vineyards | ‘La Contrada’ Red

This blend is principally Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with a pinch of Petit Verdot blended in. The barrel aromas (24 months in all-new French) stand out at first, with notes of chocolate, coffee and spice. The black-fruit flavors are full bodied and high-octane, showing some warmth on the finish.

Producer Information

Driven by a yearning for the old world and passion for Pinot Noir, Ron and Marianne Lachini planted their first vines in 1998. In 2001 they began to produce their premium, single vineyard Pinots and embraced their patient pursuit of world-class wines. Lachini Vineyards respects the time-honored principles of uncompromising desire for quality and long-term stewardship of the lands from which they harvest. Our commitment begins as growers as we cultivate fruit that bear measurement to the test of time and other leading wines of the world. The Lachini Vineyards team brings years of experience and is committed to retaining the essence of our terroir along with each vintage’s character. “Our tradition, innovation, low-impact winemaking and sustainable farming practices ultimately guide us to craft a continuity of quality that are distinctly Lachini. Our commitment and dedication is inspired by our lifelong journey to pursue a dream and way of life for generations to come.”
