Katie’s Kraving: Lumen Grenache

Katie’s Kraving Review:

Holy shit that nose! Spicy, saucy, juicy. It just don’t stop. Hot damn. Get this: after the first sip I started hand writing my notes (no hating on the pen and paper process peeps!) and minutes later I could still taste all the things! That’s how long this baby can last. It’s like your favorite lover, he don’t stop, you always want more – and man if he ain’t ready to oblige – always.

Leave this baby alone for a few hours and it will only continue to open and tease – your taste buds (come on y’all, this is a PG review).

This Grenache takes your mouth on an epic flavor road trip … sage from the window box of a Parisian apartment, green tea with locals in Japan, fresh picked wild thyme from a local forager in Greece, grated nutmeg at grandma’s in Maine, and huckleberries from Washington State. Toss in a plum-picking excursion in the Middle East and black cherries from Nova Scotia and you just circled the world in 60 seconds!

My “technical” note the first time I ever tasted this juice was “Holy Fuck! I’m in damn love!” (I know, I know, I have a type. If Grenache was a man, maybe I’d actually say yes to a date #naw).

By now, I hope you trust me when I say, “trust me” because, trust me, you def do not want to miss this baby.

Made by the legendary, cool, hip, fun, badass, and 1^st independent female winemaker in Santa Barbara County, I shouldn’t be surprised by how damn awesome it is. Yet, every sip still #blowsmymind

Cheers friends! And don’t forget to #SipAwhile
