The Winery: Lumos Wine
The Wine: 2005 Pinot Noir - 5 Blocks
The Price: $24.99 at Fine Wine and Cigars
From what I see on the bottle and on the website, Lumos seems like a cool, family run winery. There's not much information about the history of the winery. This is the type of winery that piques my interest, so I'd like to have seen more information about them on their website - how they got started, how long they've been interested in winemaking, what they like about their business. The human interest side of the business.
The wine is a deep burgandy color, typical for a Pinot Noir.
The wine has a rich, well developed scent. It has scents of berries and plums.
The wine has an unexpectedly light and bright flavor, in a good way. It's not thin or underdeveloped, but is lighter tasting than many other Pinot Noirs that I've sampled. The wine has flavors of cherries and blackberries, with a very slight and mild pepper finish.
This is a very good wine, and is quite drinkable now.
