Initially gave a blast of bright red fruit and vanilla. 2 hours later, it had really hit its stride with the cherry melting into leather and long tannins. Excellent Toro value — 6 months ago

Luna Vineyards Napa Valley Merlot 1997: Medium-bodied. Smooth tannins. Well integrated acidity. Dark cherry. Raspberry. Prune. Plum. Menthol. Earth. Gentle oak. Soft lingering finish. Overall, a fantastic 25 year old wine. Beautifully developed over time and still displayed great fruit flavors & aromas. Aged to perfection and paired perfectly with the baseball cut Filet Mignon. Great weekend to all! Cheers🍷 — 2 years ago
Blend of equal amounts of local red grapes; Caino, Espadeiro and Loueiro, Ruby red color with aromas of red fruits, herb, floral and cigar box notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with tobacco, oak and garden herbs. Medium+ finish, chalky tannins, savory, ending with herbs, spice, cedar and slight fruit, savory. Nice, will continue to age. — a month ago

Unfiltered, stone fruit with tight acidity that opens right up when it hits your tongue. Love it. — 4 months ago
Deep ruby/purple/black color. Black raspberry and blueberry fruit on the nose with additional hints of tobacco, leather, dried herbs and smoke. Same combination of black and blue berry fruit on the palate along with notes of dark plum, dark chocolate, coffee and baking spices. Long and supple finish with very fine grained tannins and well balanced acidity. Medium bodied with a nice combination of power and depth. Thank you for the gift, John P. — 6 months ago
My last bottle from the defunct yet memorable winery.
Smells so delicious, like a fruit yogurt
This drinks like it is fresh, with blackberry bramble, subtle and unique red fruits tucked behind the leather ones.
Tannins are still very gripping, and the acidity tames it back. A touch of heat and its off to the races! — 2 years ago

TJ. Super good, easy drinking. A little jammy with leather notes. Great by itself, no food needed. — 9 days ago
