Cellar for up to 7 years. No need to decant before serving. The striking labels of Lapis Luna are inspired by 400-year old copperplate engravings which explore humanity’s relationship with the moon and our insatiable desire to reach for something beyond our familiar world. The winery itself is named after the Latin words for “stone” and “moon”, expressing their philosophy of making ambitious wines which deliver both delicious flavours and incredible value for money. Lapis Luna source their fruit from the Lodi and North Coast AVAs, working with partner growers to select perfectly ripe grapes which match their exacting standards. This easy-drinking red blend is composed of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel fruit which is vinified separately before winemaker Drew Stap decides on the final composition of the cuvee. Succulent cassis, black cherry and plum are the first flavours that spring out of the glass, followed by undertones of dried herbs, licorice and subtle spice and toast notes from the barrel ageing. On the palate there’s plenty of smooth tannins, a firm structure and a long finish seasoned with notes of coffee beans, tobacco leaf and woodsmoke. A great wine to drink with family or friends alongside a casual platter of charcuterie or fresh pasta served with a tomato-based ragu sauce.
