Lapis Luna Pinot Noir could be the secret password of a private mystical club in an alley in California that introduces you to cosmic pleasures. The reality is not far from that as it is a juicy Pinot Noir that can initiate even the most skeptical of New World wines, with its exuberant character and the inconceivable value for money ratio.
Lapis Luna Winery is located in Mendocino, on the North Coast of California. Their motto is what sets them apart: we deliver an experience as rare and extraordinary as the blue moon, with each bottle. There is an expression in English (once in a blue moon), which means that something is extremely unique and rare to happen as the blue moon. The blue moon is the second full moon that may happen in the same month, a fact that is extremely rare since the moon fills every 27 days. After taking this astronomy lesson we are now moving to the best part.
Pinot Noir Lapis Luna comes from selected Pinot Noir clones from Pommard. After harvest, the grapes undergo a first warm soaking for 3 days and then undergo cold soaking. This gives the wine an intense color, structure but at the same time ensures freshness. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks and then it aged for 8 months in oak barrels, 10% new.
Lapis Luna Pinot Noir is juicy, spicy, with ripe tannins and plenty of fruit.
