Said it took a medal at the chronicle wine competition. But unless it was for good effort. I'm not seeing it. Not much nose. Light tannins. Slight fruit quality. Otherwise bland. Good spaghetti wine or third bottle wine. — 9 years ago

First sip very raisiny. Some confusion says Lodi on bottle but from Napa vineyard? Also it's Luna"tic" wines not Luna. After opening up a bit. Can taste the toasted marshmallow from barrels. Medium body with lots of ripe fruit flavor — 9 years ago
