The 2015 Grenache Lumiere Larner Vineyard features a medium garnet-purple color and bombastic nose of spicy black cherries, plum preserves and Christmas cake over notions of Indian spices, cardamom and dusty earth. The big, voluptuous, full-bodied palate does not fail to deliver the rich fruit and exotic spice goods, with some provocative perfumed earth layers coming through on the long finish.

The 2015 Grenache Lumiere comes from the Larner Vineyard and will see 20 months in 30% new French oak. Black raspberries, blueberries, potpourri and ample spice notes give way to a rich, full-bodied, seamless beauty that has ripe tannin, a touch more flesh than the Bien Nacido cuvée, and ripe tannin. It too is a smoking good Grenache to drink over the coming 7-8 years. Readers should check out the Santa Barbara County: The Classic 2014s and Variable 2015s to read the reviews on Latos Pinot Noir and Chardonnays.
