Paul Lato Lumière Larner Vineyard Grenache 2020

98 Points                                                               A fantastic small-production Grenache from cult producer Paul Lato. Limited. 98 Points Robert Parker: "From 22-year-old vines, the pale ruby colored 2020 Grenache Lumiere Larner Vineyard features singular aromas of sour cherries, rosewater, powdered sugar, chaparral and prosciutto with loads of earthy accents. The light-bodied palate is silky and tensile, with layer after layer of perfumed fruit haunting the very long finish. This is gorgeous! It was matured for 19 months in 30% new French oak and only 75 cases were made." ...I continue to be blown away by the wines of Paul Lato, and these are unquestionably some of the most profound and exciting wines coming from the Central Coast today. The lineup has grown substantially over the past decade, and Lato now releases upwards of five Chardonnays, six Pinot Noirs, two Grenaches, three Syrahs, a Sauvignon Blanc, and a Malvasia. Despite the number of wines, quality hasn’t slipped an inch, and the wines show incredible site and varietal typicity always paired with sensational fruit and balance. In short, don’t miss these wines!"
