A
very exotic and delicious new white wine for us - From a
tiny little vineyard at 2500 feet up in the Sierra Foothills
near where we make our Olive Oil - that's how Guy met this
grower!
A mouthful of rich fruit is highlighted by floral and
mineral notes in both the nose and on the palate! Amazing
match to any seafood, simple bread and cheese or by itself
on the patio. Named after our grandson Luke, who was born in
the 2008 vintage, this wine is almost as special and
precious as he is…almost!
The 2008 vintage was awarded top honors at the California State
Wine Competition - 94 points - Best of Class
and Best of
Region!! And Robert Parker chimed in with the
following review:
“The excellent 2008 Cuvee Luke is a white Rhone Ranger
blend of 49% Roussanne, 37% Marsanne, and 14% Viognier.
Aromas of nectarine, apricot, white peach, and a hint of lychee are all present in this fleshy, medium-bodied,
surprisingly elegant and pure, dry white wine. It offers
unlimited match-up possibilities with food. Enjoy it over
the next 1-2 years.”
