Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2016 Lore Vineyard pours a deep ruby/purple color with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with powerful notes of ripe black fruits: brambles, plums, cassis, loads of tobacco, leather, a touch of bell pepper, organic earth and fine baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and the texture is velvety. This is modern Napa through and through. Balanced but big. Drink now through 2036. — 16 days ago

My curiosity got this best of me on this. Nice nose right off the jump and only needed about 30 minutes of air to open up. Red fruit dominant and a bit thin on the finish at this stage. A nice bottle, but a couple notches below the Lore and Lamb, and I prefer the Panek as well. — 4 years ago

Gorgeous, medium-bodied Zinfandel from some of the most remote vineyards in all of Napa, gown organically on Mt. Veeder’s volcanic soils, at 2,100 ft. altitude, and made by California cult producer Lore Olds - Bob Travers’ assistant winemaker at Mayacamas back in the 1970s. Earthy, mineral and balanced. Blackberry, peppery smokiness, hints of nail polish or marker — 5 years ago

2020-Huet. Marvelous. Nice nose. really good balance of acidity and fruit. For the price point an excellent CB from Lore. If I had a bigger budget I’d have a case — 3 years ago

Way too much wax! But great Mag other than that. Glad I held it longer than my first bottle. Much better than the Proprietary blend.
Great finish as it opens up, definitely reminds me of Rivers Marie Lore & Herb Lamb

Day 24 of the 2022 Whisky Advent Calendar. Very smoky at first but with a caramel depth coming through. Intensely peaty with a cocoa and mint layer under it and lots of spices. Toasty nutty finish. — 2 years ago

2020 vintage.
Wow….let’s talk about acidity.
Crisp, vibrant and mouth watering.
Fresh squeezed lemon, herbs and camomile tea on the nose.
Flavours of lemon verbena, white grapefruit and fresh cut grass. Smooth and clean finish.
I made Basa fillets with a Putanesca sauce.
This is a great seafood wine. — 3 years ago
