Lolonis Ladybug Red Cuvee V
Other Red Wine
from North Coast, California
winemaker's notes:
Perhaps the fullest Ladybug Red yet. It is deeply colored, softly textured, and extremely fruity in flavor, tasting of blackberry and plum with overtones of cocoa, pepper and oak. Delicious now or over the next twelve - eighteen months. Ladybug Red Cuvée V is a blend of Zinfandel, Carignane, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Viticulture Technique:
Grapes are organically grown on head trained 50 year old vines on 4x14 spacing dry farmed. Cover crops and leaf pulling are practiced to promote optimal vineyard conditions. Ladybugs - not chemicals - are used to combat pests.
I just tried this wine at a local restaurant in Bloomington, Indiana and I thought it was a fantastic wine! Great combination of tastes and a wine that will win any enthusiast over.
I love this wine so much I have asked all the stores I visit to carry it. I realize now that it is probably only a limited addition, but hopefully every year they will have another that comes close. The VERY best organic red I hav tried!
