Tasting Notes/Food Pairing Suggestions
Aromas of toasty oak. Rich, lush, and mouthfilling on the palate. Deep fruit flavors of blackberry jam, black cherry and hints of sweet oak. L3—lush, long and loveable. Not French Syrah, not California Syrah—truly Argentine Syrah, with the Bonarda and Malbec lending some nice additional complexity. Pairs well with grilled or smoked meats such as beef, pork, and lamb, Italian herb-roasted chicken, and dishes prepared with mild cheeses or wild mushrooms.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 Syrah
