The 2018 Luci is a painstakingly curated blend of five different vineyards located on the East Bench of the Dry Creek Valley. The nose is an assault of layered plum, strawberry, and blackberry fruit, with background notes of spice, clover, and oak-inspired graham cracker.  The palate is classic Luci, with big and brooding fruit and tannin moving front and center.  This wine finishes elegant and a bit spicy, with supple acid and dark fruit contributing to a deliciously long finish.
