The Swiss Army knife my father gifted to me in 2002 on a trip to Niagara Falls has been a prized object in my life. From etching initials into tree bark to camping to building furniture to opening bottles of wine, this glorified knick knack has transcended that category for me and will always have its place on my desk wherever I may be.
Rich and creamy bouquet. Black pepper and vanilla and unusually, goat cheese.
Light in terms of tannins, but a medium to high acidity makes this stand out. Intense red cherries. Packs a punch berry fruit up front, the acidity rushes in at the midpoint and then ends with a slight, yet welcome, astringent note.

Probably the best croatina I’ve ever had! Okay, prob the only one I’ve ever had. Another Lou classic, earthy, funky, tart cherries, beautiful ruby color and barnyard nose.

Mar 27th, 2020Nice blackberry fruit, very subtle tannin. Was a good pairing with a lamb, squash and apricot tagine.

Spicy berry fruit with prominent chalky tannins and firm acidity. Made from 90% Croatina blended with Nebbiolo and Vespolina farmed organically by hand on old vines averaging 70 years, fermented in steel vats, and then aged 18 months in large oak barrels before being bottled unfiltered.

Play-doe, raw mushroom oxidative notes. Very little primary fruit. Fresh and tannic but decently long. Tanins are not overly grippy.
