  August 26, 2021 - Aromas of Strawberry blackberry, & cinnamon with a hint of clove. In the mouth, baking spice and black cherry. Light bodied cab, almost drinks like a Pinot.

  November 22, 2020 - Consistent with my previous note, except that the slight bitter note has disappeared entirely. I also get a little more vanilla on the palate than I noted previously. I still recommend a decent of 90 minutes.

  August 18, 2019 - I was not sure what to expect based on other reviews. BUT: please note that 2 or 3 different wines are using this same entry: the Luna Black Label, the Luna Winemaker's Reserve, and potentially a separate wine (look at the label pictures and the wide range in prices paid by the community). My review is on the Black Label.
  
  After trying the wine, I think it is much better than what other reviewers relate, and I rate it significantly higher than other reviewers. Decanted 2.5 hours. Aroma of red fruit and menthol. Lots of jammy red and black fruit: cherry, raspberry, blackberry. Menthol notes. Really enjoyable white pepper and spice. Medium body, medium finish, with a hint of lingering bitterness, which is less noticeable after 3.5 hour decant. Not overly complex. Lynn really likes the wine.

  May 10, 2017 - Nose of boysenberry and menthol. Concentrated jamminess lacks complexity. Blackberry, cherry, and some white pepper heat. This wine is more characteristic of Zinfandel than Cabernet.
