Winery notes (NV)
"Smoking Loon Old Vine Zinfandel invites you with a beautiful color in the glass and aromas of blackberry liquor, and brambly fruit. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine offers flavors of tart raspberry, cobbler, dark plum, with peppery lingering notes of pomegranate. A lengthy finish of coconut and vanilla derived from a combination of 10 months of aging in American and French Oak make this a wonderfully approachable wine."
91/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2023 (NV)
"Aromas of ripe and tart cherries, some fruit cake and baking spice qualities, blue fruits and clove with a light white smoke quality. Fruity, firm, textured and dry with a light grip from tannins, the acid line adds a freshness highlighting the core fruit flavours suggested in the bouquet. The tartness of the cherry and ripeness of other fruit deliver a wine of quality and style, typicity and vigor. Best drinking from 2023 through 2027."
90/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, December 2024 (NV)
"Sweetly fruited and fragrant, the bouquet shows dark berry, mixed spice, vanilla, and assorted nut aromas. The succulent palate displays plump mouthfeel and silky texture, beautifully framed by smooth tannins, making it immediately approachable."
