Smoking Loon
The Original Old Vine California Zinfandel
Red ruby in color with light intensity and a light orange / brick rim.
Fruity nose with blueberries, blackberries, plums, cherries, sweet strawberries, oak, metals and light white pepper.
Fruity on the palate with blackberries, light figs, plums, pencil led, dirt, wood spices and peppercorn.
Light to medium bodied and smooth with long legs. A little hot at the back of the throat.
Medium finish with soft, round tannins and bitter cherries.
This is a nice everyday wine, not complicated nor sophisticated yet fruity and enjoyable by itself.
I had the 2012 not too long ago, and this was a little better. However, it couldn't hold up the fruits well enough after an hour, so this must be its last year. It is down hill from here...
14% alcohol by volume.
