Smoking Loon Zinfandel

Aromas of red raspberry, sweet leather, and rich Lodi soil open up on the nose, with a hint of silky, spicy Mexican chocolate. On the palate, the Old Vine Zinfandel is full of warm spice and wild strawberry flavors, with layers of brambly raspberry, cinnamon bark, and clove. The complex blend of fruit and spice is well-balanced by this wine’s refreshing, bright acidity, the hallmark of a classic, food-friendly style Zinfandel. Striking out from today’s overblown, high-alcohol Zinfandels, this wine shows true varietal character with restrained alcohol, finishing with lingering fresh cranberry notes.
