#68 Loxton Zinfandel


From one of my favorite producers in Sonoma Chris Loxton, comes a reprieve from a series of unfortunate bottles (Hey! a real cork!). This Zinfandel is far more subtle than most you come across these days. Weighing in at 14.3% ABV this wine brings back a flood of aromas from Loxton Cellars. I have finally found a bottle to settle in with for the evening.

This 2005 is a beautifully crafted wine, elegant and with great structure. I can't remember how much this wine will run you but I think it must be in the $25 area. If you find yourself in Sonoma you absolutely would be doing yourself a huge favor by dropping in on Loxton. You have my personal guarantee!
