The proprietor and winemaker for BÖEN is Joseph Wagner. "BÖEN" is a translation of "The Farm," emphasizing that winemaker Joseph Wagner is first and foremost a farmer.

CA. Winemaker is Joseph Wagner.
·
Dark garnet color in the glass. The aromatics are not particularly appealing,
offering scents of dark fruits, fertile earth, weathered oak and oak vanillin. A full-bodied style that is plush, soft
and velvety on the palate, displaying purple and black fruit flavors with a heavy dose of dark chocolate and
vanilla. A fruity wine in the Meiomi style, lacking vibrancy, and finishing slightly hot.
Score: 86.
