Muddled red cherry aromas are enhanced by chaparral spice and toasted herbs on the earthy nose of this bottling from vineyards in Santa Maria and Los Alamos. There's a lot of potpourri impact to the palate, giving a floral depth to the crisp raspberry and herb flavors.
Tasting Notes
The judicious blending of several different clones produced a wine with flavors of bright red fruit with elegant structure. Showing off aromas of raspberries and wet stone, this is an exceptional Pinot Noir. Silky tannins and balanced acidity support flavors of ripe cherry, fresh forest, and a trace of sweet earth persisting over a long finish.
About the Winery
Louis Lucas, a third generation grape grower, and Superior Court Judge Royce Lewellen met in 1975 through the Santa Maria Wine & Food Society. Louis was a well respected grower who had been supplying premium wine grapes for reputable Napa and Sonoma wineries for decades. Royce Lewellen was a passionate wine enthusiast with a vision for the future of the Santa Barbara County wine industry.
Over the next twenty-five years, the Lucas and Lewellen families would grow in a deep friendship that would serve as the foundation for Lucas & Lewellen Vineyards, a Solvang, California based winery with four hundred estate acres situated among three of Santa Barbara County’s separate and distinct climate zones, three major wine labels, two popular tasting rooms in downtown Solvang, and a state of the art winery.
Lucas & Lewellen Vineyards has a distributor presence in 25 states and 14 countries.
