Paul Lato
Lumière Larner Vineyard Grenache
Santa Ynez Valley, Central Coast, California, USA
Aromatics a bit like cherry cola, cinnamon, and a touch of tapenade. Light in color, but still has a deep mid palate and smooth finish.

May 8th, 2014Definitely a soft version of Grenache, has familiar aromas to Pinot Noir. Cherry, earth, and leather. Light in color, but great mid palate and long finish.

Love Paul Lato’s wines. This is an elegant expression of grenache - a fantastic contrast to the more muscular wine that John Alban produces, which puts Manfred’s somewhere between. Bright aromatics even given its age, the wine gains a bit of weight as it sits in the glass. Layers of blue fruits on the palate with subdued acidity that keeps the wine moving through a great finish.

Blind. I think I liked this more than the rest of the crowd. Very clean fruit profile and long mid palate mouthfeel and finish. I really like was he does with Grenache.

Gorgeous nose and color. Very smooth. Maybe just a touch of heat as it gets up to room temp. Drink this one cool.
