Lutum Pinot Noir Durell Vineyard 2012
Showcasing the riches of the 2012 vintage, the Lutum Durell Pinot Noir conveys elegance from the start with sultry aromatics of dark fruit and baking spices. On the palate, the texture is ethereal and carries flavors framboise, strawberry, spice and black tea. This is as complex and rewarding as it sounds and will deliver pleasure through 2018.
Lutum Winery
LUTUM was born from a shared vision between Bill Price, entrepreneur and owner of Classic Wines and Price Family Vineyards, and winemaker Gavin Chanin. Their wine focuses on small-production, single-vineyard Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from prime vineyard sites in California. The name LUTUM is Latin for dirt or soil, referencing their mission to make wines that express these great sites, with little to mask the vineyards’ natural character. Together, they are the Bards of LUTUM. - Lutum
