Buy this wine if you want a beautiful bottle that is almost as big
and huge as the wine inside. A blend of Syrah and Petite Sirah
crafted by the wunderkind Morgan Twain Peterson (son of Joel
Peterson, founder of Ravenswood) and the young talent behind the
highly sought-after Bedrock wines.
This is only the second year for Lacuna, a red wine blend that
varies from year to year. Given the talent behind the production
side as well as the distribution side of this equation, I predict
this brand will achieve considerable success.
My Tasting Notes
At our recent wine club member tasting panel, this wne was
divisive. And understandably so - it's young, young, YOUNG, and can
be as energetic and overly enthusiastic as a puppy. But give it
time to calm down (such as pouring through an aerator or decanting
three hours (seriously) before your meal) and you'll be rewarded
with layers of ripe fruit and tannic pleasures that beg for the
hearty meals from your Winter cookbook.
Complex aromas of bramble berries with cracked black pepper,
tobacco, roasted meat, dried sage and forest-floor scents. The
lingering finish features dark fruit redwood forest floor, cracked
black pepper and a cedary spice with tannins galore in this young
red. This wine is almost sure to throw some sediment as it ages - I
recommend decanting carefully and leaving the sediment along with
the last few tablespoons of the precious liquid. A miserly 580
cases produced.
Cheers!
