Tasting Notes

Rich and integrated, our Estate Luminesce shows lanolin, apricot, kiwi, star fruit and mineral aromas. A citrus edge enhances the creamy, wet stone and passion fruit flavors which gain depth on a lengthy clean finish.

Winemaker's Comments

Luminesce, our white Bordeaux blend, is anchored with Semillon at its core, providing lush tropical fruit and honeysuckle. The introduction of Sauvignon Blanc broadens the flavor and texture, elevating the crisp, floral and mineral side of the wine.

It's not like they'd say "Poorly integrated, our Estate Luminesce tastes like a lathered up Kiwi, stinking of minerals and rotten fruit fly infested apricot and star fruit."

I am interested in finding Lebanese wines - most specifically Chateau Musar (cab sav) and Chateau Cana (Syrah) - I've checked locally & can't seem to get a source - anyone?
