Lapis Luna Cabernet Sauvignon is a captivating journey through the sunlit vineyards of California, where the earth meets the moon. From Lapis Luna, a winery known for capturing the essence of the Golden State's terroir, this Cabernet Sauvignon unveils a world of rich flavors and alluring aromas. Lapis Luna (meaning stone and moon) represents the constant push and pull of the celestial bodies, and how that relates to farming. Just as the moon impacts our tides, so too does farming impact our wines. Winemaker Samantha Poe crafts each vintage of Lapis Luna with the belief that balance creates better wines, just like balance creates a better world. The 2021 Lapis Luna Cabernet Sauvignon is a dark ruby color with aromas of blackberry and plum with a hint of mocha. Flavors of dark fruits, chocolate and vanilla flow across the palate with a hint of oak. This balanced wine is rich and round with a long, lingering finish. Imagine dark, sun-ripened fruit, vanilla oak, and a hint of mocha mingling together harmoniously on your palate. The tannins are firm but refined, providing structure and depth without being aggressive. Its body is medium-full, making it suitable for various palates and occasions. On the nose, this wine entices with aromas of dark fruit like blackberries and plums, complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and oak from careful barrel aging. On the palate, it delivers a smooth, bold experience with pronounced dark fruit flavors, a touch of vanilla, and a lingering finish that leaves you wanting more. The image suggests that it’s a wine to savor and explore, much like the journey through a moonlit labyrinth. This Cabernet Sauvignon is a versatile companion to a wide range of dishes. Its rich fruit and balanced tannins make it an excellent match for grilled meats such as steak, lamb chops, or hearty burgers. It also pairs beautifully with robust pasta dishes, roasted vegetables, or aged cheeses. If you're looking for a wine that embodies the spirit of California winemaking, offers exceptional quality for its price, and provides a memorable tasting experience, Lapis Luna Cabernet Sauvignon is the perfect choice. Let it transport you to a moonlit vineyard with every sip.
