This is a richer, oakier style of PG. It aims, not for vibrancy and freshness, but subtlety and complexity. A bit low in acids, it’s long in cinnamon-sprinkled yellow peach and apricot flavors, with oak and vanilla seasoning.

Luna is establishing a great track record with their Cab. This ’06 is rich and complex, with flavors of black currants, black cherry pie and mocha. Beyond the flavor is a dry structure governed by finely grained tannins.

Soft, dry and simple, with modest peach, pineapple, lemon and vanilla flavors. Drink now.

Dry and tough in tannins, yet impressive for balance and integrity. Shows currant, blackberry and smoky flavors, with a firm minerality. One of the better, more elegant Sangioveses out there.

Dry as dust and very tannic, this Cabernet simply isn’t ready for prime time yet. It’s tightly wound and tough, and resists breaking down. But there are plenty of blackberries tucked deep inside. Hold this elegant wine until after 2015.

Very dry and tannic, an austere young Cabernet that offering much relief now. You’ll find a very rich, concentrated core of blackberries and minerals, brightened by a scour of fine, clean acidity. The odds are heavily in favor of this wine aging well for a decade.

A nice, rich Cab that shows off its Napa pedigree. It’s a little soft and not an ager, but lush in black currant, blackberry tart, cherry pie, chocolate, vanilla, smoky oak and spice flavors that are delicious. The tannins are thick, but so ripe and sweet, you can drink it right now.

The difference from Luna’s regular ’04 Cab is in the increased alcohol, nearly 1% higher, and greater tannic structure. There’s probably more new oak, too, which is in proportion to the massive blackcurrant and cherry fruit. As young as it is, it’s fully drinkable now, but should hold and improve for six to eight years.
