Smoking Loon
The Original Old Vine California Zinfandel
Smokey nose, but doesn't smokey at all. Not harsh, but still clearly a Zinfandel. Difficult to identify a distinct flavor. Light oak flavoring.
Not great, but not bad. It's more than just cheeseburger wine.

I don't mean this to come across as snobbish but this Zin is pedestrian/mediocre at best. Lacking any real character. No fruit bomb here, no pepper, no spice. Hint of leather and licorice.

Delicious zin! Well rounded depth. Black licorice notes. Hints of leather on the nose.

Fruity, light but pleasing tannins.

Nice value here for $13. Slightly confected but very plush. Blackberry and vanilla consume the palate. An easy-going entry to Zinfandel. On a side note, the new purple label is a lot easier on the eyes then the former ketchup and mustard looking label.
