Les Lunes Zinfandel
Les Lunes Zinfandel offers a compelling alternative to the jammy, high-alcohol style that has dominated California Zin for decades. This Sonoma County offering shows what happens when old-vine Zinfandel meets minimal-intervention winemaking – the result is a revelation of purity and balance.
What makes this bottle special is how it captures Zinfandel's inherent character without pushing it to extremes. Les Lunes (The Moons) follows biodynamic principles, working with the lunar calendar – hence the name.
Their approach in the vineyard and cellar allows the wine to express its place rather than a winemaking recipe. The alcohol is kept in check, the fruit remains fresh rather than raisined, and there's a transparency that lets Zinfandel's spicy, brambly nature shine through.
It's Zinfandel for those who appreciate nuance and drinkability – proof that this quintessential California grape can produce wines of elegance when given the chance.
