Babel

Lares Babel Coferment Blend is made from Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Chardonnay from the Tualatin Hills AVA in Willamette Valley. A bright and crunchy red that is perfect for chilling down and having with a bbq or pizza. Aromas and flavors of wild strawberries, raspberries, earthy spice, and puckering lemon acidity.

Lares is a form of creative exploration for winemaker Luke Wylde. This small label gives Luke the space to lean on what he has learned over the years and to create new things because of that experience. Ultimately, Luke wants to make wine in his own way, in a style that’s not dictated by representations of anything but his own curiosity. Working with grapes that are either new to Luke as a winemaker or using them in ways unfamiliar to his winemaking acumen.
