Winery - Smoking Loon
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Straightforward, with modest cherry and floral aromas and flavors and a delicate structure. Good, clean and simple.

With its mint-accented cherry and blackberry flavors and raw tannins, this is a rustic sort of Merlot. It has the sharp, edgy mouthfeel of a country-style wine, but it’s clean and fruity, and will do fine with anything that calls for a dry, full-bodied red.

Lots of bang for the buck in this Cab. You get a full-bodied, heart-warming, dry red that’s filled with tasty blackberry, spice and cedar flavors. Shows a lot more elegance than you’d expect for this low price.

Here’s a lusty, smooth red wine that shows real class, despite the low price. Dry and full-bodied, its black currant, cherry and pepper flavors will accompany a steak.

Easy and silky, this Cab features cherry-berry flavors with a hint of raisins. It’s a little rough around the edges, but serviceable.

This is the first Zin I can remember from the Loon. It’s kind of on the rustic side, but rich in slightly sweet cherry and vanilla flavors with a drop of raspberry liqueur essence. High acidity makes it finish clean and bright.

Lots of ripe peach, pear, tropical fruit and Oriental spice flavors, lots of smoky, toasty oak, a vanilla-cream texture and a honeyed richness that lasts through the finish. That’s the formula for popular success in Chard, and you get it all here, at an everyday price.

Smells like tobacco and pepper, and then turns tannic and dry in the mouth, with blackberry flavors emerging after it warms up. A decent everyday Zin.

This tastes like it came from premium cool growing areas. It’s crisp in acids, light-bodied and dry. The flavors are all on the surface, but totally delicious. They include raspberries, red cherries, cola, cocoa, vanilla, toast and Asian spices.

Not bad for an introductory or everyday sort of Pinot. Of course, it’s a bit thin and acidic, but nicely silky, with modest cherry, cola and mint flavors.
