LUKE Cabernet Sauvignon offers aromas dominated by Marionberry and dark chocolate, accented by hints of mint and molasses. Supple, focused and expressive, layering coffee-accented blackberry and currant flavors with polished tannins and hints of cedar and smoke.
Luke Red Blend showcases the opulence and synergy that a Bordeaux blend can be when a thread of Syrah is layered in. Dark fruits of blackberry and plum with hints of Asian spices and vanilla.
LUKE Merlot reveals the hallmark of great Washington merlot – dark red fruits, rounded tannins, and an opulent, smooth finish. Fresh flavors of plum, cherry, and blackberry dominate the mid palate while earthy flavors of tobacco, cedar, and clove marry the spices of vanilla and mocha to extend the wine’s long lingering finish.
Isolating the best of the best fruit, fermenting natively, barrel aging in mostly new French oak ,and bottling the wines unfined and unfiltered will provide rich, powerful, yet elegant wines with tannins that are fine grained and flavors that linger.
The nose is lively with Meyer lemon, green apple, tangerine, with a lovely gardenia floral accent. There’s an oyster shell minerality to the aromas, and a touch of fresh almond nuttiness. In the mouth, the lively/creamy dance continues in a beautifully balanced way, with vivid citrus notes leading the way, rounded out with Fuji apple, pear, and a little mango at the end. The finish is long and bright, lingering with a fresh yet rich key lime pie note.
