The\u003cbr\u003e\ncoastal mountain range protects the hills from severe weather, giving the region the benefit of more moderate rain\u003cbr\u003e\nand warmer nighttime temperatures to protect against frost and fog. Unlike other Willamette Valley appellations\u003cbr\u003e\nthat have numerous types of sedimentary soils, the Dundee Hills are uniformly covered by Jory soils, a rich red\u003cbr\u003e\nclay formed by ancient volcanic basalt. Pinot Noir grown in Dundee Hills exhibits texture and weight, as well as\u003cbr\u003e\nearth, floral, and mineral attributes. Pinot Noir was first planted here in 1965, less than one mile from Domaine\u003cbr\u003e\nLumineux. The Dundee Hills is now considered one of the premier Pinot Noir regions in the world and is home to\u003cbr\u003e\nmany of Oregon’s most acclaimed Pinot Noir vineyards.\u003cbr\u003e\nAppellation: Dundee Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon.\u003cbr\u003e\nBlend: 100% Pinot Noir – 35% Block B Clone 114,\u003cbr\u003e\n24% Block D Clone 943, 41% Block E Clone 115\u003cbr\u003e\nAlcohol: 13.5%\u003cbr\u003e\nTotal Acid: 5.8 g\/l\u003cbr\u003e\nBarrel Regimen: 16 Months 100% French Oak, 40% new oak\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 2021 Vintage: The 2021 Reserve is composed of fruit\u003cbr\u003e\nfrom three of our highest elevation and oldest vineyard\u003cbr\u003e\nblocks: Blocks B, D, and E. The location’s shallower soil, cooler\u003cbr\u003e\nvineyard position, and early sun exposure result in slow\u003cbr\u003e\nripening, perfect for Pinot Noir tannin development. Block\u003cbr\u003e\nE (clone 115) offers upfront fruit, while Block B (clone 114)\u003cbr\u003e\nadds deep color, structure, tannin, and savoriness. Block D\u003cbr\u003e\nis planted with a lesser-known clone for Oregon, clone 943,\u003cbr\u003e\nthough its unique profile is gaining interest throughout the\u003cbr\u003e\nWillamette Valley. This exciting clone contributes intense\u003cbr\u003e\ndark fruit, color, and power to the Reserve Pinot Noir.\u003cbr\u003e\nTasting Notes: Our Reserve Pinot Noir is carefully crafted\u003cbr\u003e\nfrom a selection of the premier lots from each harvest. The\u003cbr\u003e\n2021 vintage presents an alluring and exotic spice profile,\u003cbr\u003e\nshowcasing prominent woody notes of cedar and clove.\u003cbr\u003e\nLush black fruit flavors of plum and blackberry dominate\u003cbr\u003e\nthe palate. The mouthfeel is rich and full, with a subtle hint\u003cbr\u003e\nof flinty minerality that adds a layer of complexity to the\u003cbr\u003e\nwine. This is an intense and balanced wine, displaying both\u003cbr\u003e\napproachability and aging potential.\u003cbr\u003e\nDomaine Lumineux honors the profound connection between light and wine. Its name pays homage to Francis Ford Coppola’s deep fascina-\u003cbr\u003e\ntion with science, specifically the theories of waves and particles which offer a glimpse into the mysteries and intricacies of the universe. Wine, a\u003cbr\u003e\nbyproduct of countless influences, embodies relativity. It’s a reminder that within a glass, the entire universe unfolds, composed of everything from\u003cbr\u003e\nvolcanic earth and a May rainfall to the philosophies of the minds who made it and thoughts of those who drink it. These seemingly small details\u003cbr\u003e\nintertwine, harmoniously moving together and making waves as light does. Domaine Lumineux is a tribute to the sciences and the intrepid minds\u003cbr\u003e\nwho rewrite perspectives. It’s an homage to the natural world, the fluidity of agriculture and wine’s ability to weave everything together.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Lumineux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47623586119904,"sku":"129879","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/domaine-lumineux-reserve-pinot-noir_1.jpg?v=1753994442","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/domaine-lumineux-reserve-pinot-noir-2021-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
