WINE DESCRIPTION
Lapis Luna Wines, established in 1999, artfully combines a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Petite Sirah, and Tannat, sourced primarily from Lodi with additional contributions from San Juan Creek and Paso Robles. This rich ensemble is aged in 85% new French oak, enhancing the wine's complex structure and silky tannins. The winemaking process prioritizes flavor and balance over sugar levels, with specific fermentation techniques for Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah to boost mouthfeel and color retention. Aged 10 months on lees, this wine, with its captivating labels depicting a hero’s journey, promises an intriguing narrative in every sip.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Lapis Luna Limited Reserve Red Blend is a full-bodied red blend that offers aromas of blackberry, tobacco, and clove.On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with a dark fruit core and subtle tannins. The finish is long and savory, with lingering notes of dark chocolate and spice. This is an impressive wine, and one that will age gracefully.
