G&C Lurton L'Orange Wine 2021 Review
A Bordeaux family comes to California, lands in Sonoma County, creates life, and begins a winery. The American dream lives in the Lurton family as they saw great potential in Sonoma soils dating back to the 1950s. Today they make a lineup of wines from classic California varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet but they also dabble in some skin-contact orange wine from the Sauvignon Blanc grape. And it is awesome. High acid grapes do well with this style and the Lurtons hit it spot on. A nose of bruised peaches and agave (which seems to be a regular aroma with this style) carries over to the palate where the low-ish alcohol gives a little punch with an added aroma of mint. The result is a refreshing wine that has depth and complexity.
