Winemaker & current generation: Lisandru Leccia

Cranberry (you know the one that comes out of the can on Thanksgiving) stained glass. Breathing in cherries, touch of hay wafting in that quickly says bye, tart & dark plums, a little eucalyptus, and pomegranate. Sipping and there’s a blend of cherry, plums, raspberry, cranberry, pomegranate, blackberry, and boysenberry. Everything is light, lively & so easy, and it’s so nice to have something not complicated right now. It actually has me craving a Junior’s Cheesecake.

Pairs with Cheez-Its: Just do it

Lisandru Leccia (the latest gen) grew up in a wine family, but spread his wings to further his vin-education in Dijon, Meursault, and Napa Valley, CA (Opus One). Of course over time home called his name, and his father (Yves) had started another estate leaving the family’s winery in his aunt’s (Annette) hands. As she says on their site, “‘Passing on my parents’ land to their grandson was the culmination of a lifetime’s work; the passing down of the torch is the most important moment in a winemaker’s life.” Lisandru happily took that torch and ran with it. It’s in his blood and you can tell by his words, “When I was a child, playing outside in this magical place was a true joy for me. Today, that’s what I try to do every day: to pass on this passion through wines. I often say that I’m inflating the tires of my tractor where, as a child, I used to inflate the tires of my bicycle…” 🍷❤️
