Lustrum Red Wine 2017

Ready to taste one of the wine world’s hottest trends? Red blends are California’s third most popular wine style (behind only iconic Cabernet and Chardonnay). Our customers absolutely love the Golden State’s lush, full-bodied red blends, and here’s one you simply must try.

When our California expert tasted this luscious red, one word sprang to mind: Lustrum, a mix of lust and lustre. You’ll understand why when you get the wine in your glass. It positively overflows with rich black and blue fruit (think black currant, blackberry and blueberry), plus an ethereal earthy/dusty nuance that captures the essence of Paso Robles’ landscape.

You see, Paso Robles is both “one of the most dynamic wine regions in California” and one of the warmest (Wine Spectator). The hot, dry climate ripens grapes to perfection (even thick-skinned red varieties like Cabernet) and encourages them to develop seriously intense, concentrated flavors. Add in a great growing season—2017 is yet another excellent vintage in a string of superb harvests—and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a big, bold red wine. Its gold-medal win at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition proves just that.

Lustrum’s colorful label will cut a striking image on your dinner table, and the wine itself will delight with barbecue, roasted meats, hearty stews and more. Order your share and prepare to fall for Lustrum.
