Tasting notes
The 2012 Luminous Flux, an unusual Cabernet Franc/Grenache blend, is beautifully layered in the glass, with exotic scents of mocha, dark spice, black cherry, plum, rose petal and new leather. Even with its considerable intensity, the 2012 offers notable balance and overall harmony in this style.

Previously reviewed from barrel as the 2012 Infidels, the 2012 Luminous Flux is an interesting blend of 65% Cabernet Franc and 35% Grenache that spent 26 months in neutral oak. Savory, earthy and slightly dried out, with notes of ground herbs, chocolate, cassis, dried underbrush and earth, it's medium-bodied, moderately concentrated and has chewy tannin on the finish. After loving this from barrel, this was a disappointing showing from bottle.
