Pinot Noir

Willamette Valley, Oregon

Luke Wylde is the winemaker/creative behind Lares Wines. He also makes wine with his winemaking partner Meredith Bell under Statera, exclusive to Chardonnay production. Luke’s interest in wine started when he reached for a bottle of wine at a college party instead of a keg cup. Seeing a grape on the label that he was unfamiliar with; he went home that night and did a bit of research about the origins of it. From then on, he was hooked. In ancient Rome, the Lares were minor deities that guarded home, hearth and harvest – so appropriate for a passionate winemaker who is also passionate about fantasy literature and role-playing games!
