Tasting Notes/Food Pairing Suggestions
Incredible color—could use in an inkwell. Loads of deep berry and black cherry fruit flavors and aromas. Beautifully density and structure with lots of fine tannins and incredible length. Will age well, but could be hard to keep your hands off of. Pairs well with foods such as venison or wild game, steak, pork, quail, all types of lamb, and medium-strong cheeses. A very flexible wine due to its concentration and balance.About the Name/Label
Luca is named after Laura Catena’s son. The family crest (the McDermott family) that appears in the label’s background is that of Laura’s husband, Dan. Laura is continually inspired by the synthesis of cultures in her own family, and this international inspiration infuses the style and quality of her wines.Recent Press & Reviews of Luca Malbec
