Tasting Notes/Food Pairing Suggestions
Beautiful deep red color and aromas of bing and black cherries. The fruit impression is of Pommard from a ripe year, and the texture is that elusive feeling of dancing or "crackling" on the tongue. Amazing aroma and concentration for such a young-vine Pinot. If this is just the starting point for Argentine Pinot, then there are certainly great things to come. Pairs well with foods such as lamb chops, grilled salmon, roasted duck or chicken, and game birds. Pinot lovers may just drink it by itself.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 Pinot Noir
