Les Lunes Description
Les Lunes has always appreciated the throw-back wine, but with a natural approach. We’re excited to offer an old-school Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma County, clocking in at only 12.5% from our farmed vineyards throughout the county. A fresher take with less aging, this wine shows the beautiful fruit potential from Cabernet when bottled younger. A perfect wine for the table.
Varieties: 93% Cabernet Sauvignon 7% Merlot
Production: 1041 cases
Vineyards:
Stone Barn & Locke Vineyards: Located just outside the city of Sonoma. On the Huichica soil series, these deep, loamy soils paired with the cool climate, lend to beautiful blue fruit and freshness.
Marcheschi Vineyard: 60 y/o dry farmed Cabernet Sauvignon in Alexander Valley on stony, alluvial soils give an aspect of depth and power to the wine.
Pyaleh Vineyard: Merlot from the heavy clay Carneros soils gives weight and balance to the mid-palate.
Farming:
Les Lunes farms all of the sites that go into this wine. Strictly organic and practicing regeneratively, we focus on soil health, good pruning, and minimal inputs to allow the sites to truly express themselves to their full potential.
Vinification:
The grapes from each vineyard are harvested and fermented separately at optimal ripeness and fermented at cool temperatures with 100% de-stemming. The lots are pressed at dryness (typically 10-14 days) and is aged for 10 months in barrel and tank at which point the wine is racked off the fine lees and blended before bottling without fining nor filtering. 18ppm SO2 added prior to bottling.
Tasting Notes:
A classic California Cabernet based wine, there is a firm tannic structure that is balanced by luscious blue/dark fruit on the palate and plenty of dried herbs, olives, and cassis on the nose. Delightful with its primary fruit, the wines does exceptionally well with grilled/roasted meats and veggies.
Alcohol: 12.5%
