Tasting Notes/Food Pairing Suggestions
Aromas of toasty oak, cassis and smoke. Cascades of red and blackcurrant fruit on the palate. Medium-bodied, but with a succulent, mouthwatering effect. The Cabernet fruit keeps coming and coming. Well-structured and balanced with moderate tannins and a lengthy finish. A wine that combines real class with excitement. Pairs well with any Bordeaux or California Cabernet-friendly dishes such as steak, pork, lamb, and strong cheeses. Can handle any dish with cream or butter sauces.About the Name/Label
Luca is named after Laura Catena’s son. The family crest (the McDermott family) that appears in the label’s background is that of Laura’s husband, Dan. Laura is continually inspired by the synthesis of cultures in her own family, and this international inspiration infuses the style and quality of her wines.Recent Press & Reviews of Luca Cabernet Sauvignon
