About This Wine


Luxana

Red Wine

The Luxana Red is a showstopper. When it came into our hands we were thrilled because it’s from a great wine region of California (the North Coast) and from a great vintage. 2016 was slightly cooler than average and had cold nights—perfect for inky dark, complex wines. With fruit notes of blackberry, black cherry, and even mulberry mingling with rosemary, tobacco, and olives, this is a wine that gets better with every sip. We think that the complexity won’t be overwhelmed by fuller-bodied dishes like steak au poivre, roasted pork, or even a deep ragu. Judges love it too! It took home a Silver medal from the 2020 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and at the 2019 Sommelier Challenge.

Wine Region


North Coast

The North Coast AVA is a vast "super region" covering three million acres of prime land north of San Francisco. It encompasses the famous wine counties of Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino, as well as Lake, Marin and Solano. While most wines from these counties are made under one of the prestigious regional AVAs, winemakers can also blend grapes from different counties. In this way, they create wines that show off the quality of the entire region and are not limited to specific terroirs. Common varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel.

The North Coast region is perfect for a red wine like this: with cool days and night the wine comes out to be inky and complex. We love the silky smooth tannins and the dark blue fruits than mingle with coastal herbs.
