88/100
The short takeA satisfying nonalcoholic red with impressive flavor persistence. Juicy fruit holds its character across the palate, and the lingering finish carries cherry and spice through to the end. Flavorful, memorable and thoroughly enjoyable.

The wine
Flavor persistence is the clearest strength here. Black cherry, baking spice and subtle smoke set the tone, while juicy, expressive fruit carries through the palate instead of dropping away after the first impression. That continuity gives the red blend its shape: the fruit remains present across the middle, and cherry and spice return on the finish. The finish is long and lingering, leaving those flavors in place rather than disappearing quickly. It is a satisfying, memorable nonalcoholic red, with sustained flavor as its particular strength.

Research notes
The editor-supplied front and back label photos identify the tasted bottle as 2023. The front label states that the blend is 90% dealcoholized premium red wine and 10% juice, and contains less than 0.5% alcohol by volume. The back label lists dealcoholized premium red wine, grape concentrate, natural flavors, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, and potassium metabisulfite; it describes the product as a grape beverage with other natural flavors. Its nutrition panel states 50 calories, 15 mg sodium, 15 g total carbohydrate, 6 g total sugars (including 0 g added sugars), 0 g protein, 20 mg calcium, 0.2 mg iron, and 340 mg potassium per 240 ml serving; the bottle states three servings. The producer-linked 2022 technical sheet names spinning cone alcohol extraction, followed by French and American oak aging, and prints residual sugar of 2.80 g/100 ml. The producer-linked sheet names spinning cone removal for this Red Blend; no source indicates that the method changed for the pictured 2023 bottle. Its varietal percentages and chemistry remain specific to the 2022 sheet. The bottle-label sugar claim and 2022 sheet value are retained with their different serving bases. The product is Red Blend, not Luminara Cabernet Sauvignon. B-21 lists a 750 ml bottle at $16.98, in stock when checked on 2026-10-03. This matches the editor-reported purchase price, but the purchase date was not supplied. The label barcode was not reliably legible, so no identifier is added. Producer sensory copy is not a cellar tasting.
