Tenuta La Lumia

Carpineto

Riserva Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Sangiovese 2013

From the Haro-Lumia Tasters Dozen. This was friggin terrific. Terrific cherry backbone. Woodsy, smoky. A long finish. A huge welcome surprise. Only downside was we were social distancing in 40 degree weather so the bottle got cold in a hurry. A WS Top 100. — 4 years ago

Central Otago Pinot Noir 2015

From the Haro-Lumia Tasters Dozen. This was surprisingly phenomenal. Soft and creamy, with black cherry, rose petal, and earl grey tea notes. Silky tannins, a memorable finish. — 5 years ago

Cune Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2010

From the Haro-Lumia tasters dozen. Lots of cherry, tar, and tobacco. Definitely not for everyone. This has to be your thing. Sexy, supple, and fantastic. A WS Top 100. — 6 years ago

Nautilus Estate

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2017

From the Haro-Lumia Taster’s Dozen. Subtle, caressing, yet bursting with melon, citrus, and lime. Mouthwatering and leaves you wanting more. Amazing effort. A WS Top 100 and well deserved. — 4 years ago

Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2015

From the Lumia-Haro taster’s dozen. Solid QPR. Great cherry fruit with crushed gravel. This really plays. Tends to be inconsistent but the 2015 is quite worthy of the WS Top 100. — 5 years ago

Viña Gravonia Crianza Rioja Viura 2008

Another selection from the Lumia-Haro taster’s dozen. Never had a white rioja before. Very interesting: very well done. Full-bodied and creamy showing tropical and coconut. This is not for the meek or inexperienced. Serious oenophiles only. — 5 years ago
