2018 Lucy Kuhlman

Our rarest and most complex wine.  Lucy Kuhlmann struggles to produce much crop on our property.  The berries and bunches are tiny and the resultant wine deep, dark and intense.  Each year we produce a small amount of wine and store it in oak.  Occasionally we test blends of this wine and when an exceptional one is created we blend the vintages, allow it to mature and then bottle.   This release is a balanced blend of several vintages with the barrels topped up with our premium Cabernet.

Tasting notes:

This full bodied, well balanced, deep ruby red wine has grippy tannins, with bumbleberry, cherry, leather, tobacco, dusty cocoa powder and cassis on the nose.  It has almond, tart cherry and rich earthy notes on the tongue, with a soft finish that lingers on the palate.  It will be a great accompaniment to dark chocolate, stuffed ravioli in a mushroom sauce, arugula topped pizza, asparagus in a dill sauce, or just on its own.
