Muri-Gries’ 2005 Lagrein, the base bottling, offers plenty of varietal character in its dark red cherries, flowers and spices. It is a terrific value as well. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2009. Muri-Gries is an excellent source for wines that capture the essence of Alto Adige. Unfortunately I was unable to taste the estate’s top Lagrein, the Abtei Muri, which in the past has been one of my favorite Lagreins.Importer: Polaner Selections, Mt. Kisco, NY; tel. (914) 244-0404
