This is from golfer Greg Norman's wines releases under his name, this time from Paso Robles, California.  The vineyard is/was part of the Penfold's California vineyards.  Purple in color, ruby at the rim, opaque and bright.  The nose has black raspberries, sandalwood, dried berries, and black pepper.  Nice texture.  Light tannins.  On the palate, this is past prime but still with something to offer.  Black raspberry fruit, dried fruits, slight prune and black pepper.  Good finish.  Drink up.  It would be better with food.  Grilled meats would be a good pairing.

Lagrein doesn't get enough attention so I was glad to be able to taste this wine.  It is a Polaner Selection (Importer) which is always a good sign.  Garnet in color, mostly opaque and bright.  The nose has cherries, dust and black cherries.  Medium to full bodied.  Medium tannins.  Good acidity.  On the palate, flavors of black cherries with a bit of cherries.  Lots of depth.  Long finish.  This is nice on its own but better with food.  It would be best with a hearty pasta dish, perhaps in a mushroom cream sauce.  Drink over the next ten years.
