  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.
