Remy Wines Three Wives Red 07
Remy Wines Three Wives Red 07 - a blend of 50% Syrah, 13% Sangiovese, and 37% Lagrein from Oregon and Washington vineyards.
Intriguingly new and subtly different, the Lagrein grapes add something unique to this captivating wine. Sweet berry and dark plum flavors are invigorated by juicy acidity and dried roses. There a hint of sweet cedar and some woodsy notes in the finish.
Lagrein is grown almost exclusively in the Alto Adige region in northweastern Italy. Remy gets her grapes rom the one vineyard in Washington State where it is grown. In Italy, it is often used as a blending grape with Pinot noir.
Remy makes a very limited 100% La Grein for $60+. The Three Wives Red is the bargain way to try this very different varietal.
27 year-old Remy Drabkin makes Italian inspired wines in the Pinot-centric Oregon Willamette Valley. Sangiovese, Cannonau, Barbera, and Lagrien are some of the varietals she uses in making her polished wines.
Grapes for her wines are purchased in both Washington State and Southern Oregon. She has longtime friendships in Oregon’s winemaking community, growing up with the children of some of Oregon’s most famous winemakers.
Before Oregon, she lived in an Italian section of Pittsburgh and learned about winemaking, Italian style, from local families.

Remy Three Wives Red 06 is a seamless blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Syrah. The character of the Sangiovese - dusty, red cherry and plum - is rounded a beefed up by the splash of Syrah. A great table wine from a producer to watch.
