Fruit-forward, blackberry and black cherry notes, full-bodied, hint of spice, strong finish. Nice! — 4 years ago
Wonderful crisp Chenin Blanc from Lange Twins in Lodi. Slightly more citrus than I like but if you're a fan of NZ Sav Blancs you will love this wine — 6 years ago
David Akiyoshi, one of my favorite winemakers, is the genius behind Lange Twins wines. I myself actually created their first Web site (the current site has nothing to do with me).
While they don’t make a fuss about this in their labels or promotional materials, these wines are produced organically and biodynamically, to the extent that they even create new homes on the estate for any creatures which may be inadvertently displaced by the wine growing.
Lots of organic wines out there simply do not taste very good. A more cynical fellow than myself might even think that there is an intent to make folks feel so good about buying organic that this offsets the low quality of the wine. In contrast, Lange Twins wines do not even trumpet their organic nature, but the wine taste and quality can stand up to much of what is produced in Napa and Sonoma.
This Cabernet has a medium body and a rich, chewy finish. There’s a bit of dried cherries and mocha flavors up front, leading into a sustained blackberry tone. We enjoyed it with Italian style stuffed bell peppers and Caesar salad. Great stuff! — 2 years ago
