2021 "Lumiere" Grenache

Larner Vineyard, 95 points

"The beautifully violet colored 2021 Lumiere from Larner Vineyard is, as usual, a soft and elegant single vineyard Grenache. The wine opens with the aroma of sour cherry, and the intense, textural palate offers layers of licorice, peppery herbs, and vanilla ice cream. The supple tannins with the spicy finish create exquisite length and texture." - Paul Lato

“Pale garnet-purple colored ... offering glimpses at notes of fresh raspberries, cherry pie, and cracked black pepper, opening out to fragrant scents of lilacs... the palate has very fine, silt-like tannins and impressive tension ... finishing long with a spicy kick." - 95 points, Wine Independent (Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW)

"...bright aromas of green olive and peppercorn, raspberry and strawberry jam, ... the full-bodied palate has a perfumed core of berry fruit framed by pixelated tannins and bright acidity ... a long, spicy finish" - 94 points, Wine Advocate (Erin Brooks)
