Wine Enthusiast 90
A classic Bordeaux blend supplemented by 14% Syrah, this companion brings large amounts of blackberries, coriander and sandalwood spice to the aromatic table. The tannins are sturdy enough to support jammy black cherry and dark plum fruit flavors that are supplemented by cedar and thyme.

Tasting notes
LUKE Red Blend showcases the opulence and synergy that a Bordeaux red blend can be when a thread of Syrah is layered in. Dark fruits flavors of blackberry and plum integrate with hints of Asian spices, coffee, chocolate, and vanilla. Tannins are silky smooth woven with good acidity and a long lingering finish.
