July 28, 2021 - A standout from the Sanford and Benedict Vineyard in Sta Rita, this wine sings of its place. The winemaker was a member of In Pursuit of Balance and this style shows in this wine. Dark intense ruby color with strong red and blue fruit, earth and cola aromas and flavors, the wine maintains its wonderful balance with striking acidity and just enough tannin to provide a frame for the fruit. The flavors develop even in the mouth and take on savory notes with a very long and delicious finish. Lutum makes wine from many of the great PN sites, Gap's Crown, Bien Nacido, Durrell, Rinconanda- I would like to try all of them.
