2018 Paul Lato Grenache ‘Lumiere’ Larner Vyd. Ballard Canyon

WA96+ The 2018 Grenache Lumiere Larner Vineyard from Paul Lato is pure, vibrant and stunning, detailed and elegant like a fine Pinot Noir. Pale to medium ruby-purple in color, the nose offers loads of spicy nuances with notes of aniseed, dried leaves, blood orange and a core of sweet berry fruits. The medium-bodied palate bursts with juicy, spicy, detailed fruits, finely grained and finishing very long and pure. Wow! Only 60 cases were made.
