TN: '97 Loxton Zinfandel

[Van The Man]

Bucko -

Sounds to me like it's a guy basically making wine out of his garage or doing some contracting somewhere.

But here's what I know.....

Owned by Chris Lockton. The wine was produced and bottled in Sonoma, Glen Ellen to be exact. 82% of the fruit is from the Priest Ranch/Orion Vineyard in the hills east of St. helena, nestled in a high valley about 800 ft. above sea level.

Is it a killer? No, but at it's price point, it's a darned good bottle. And I guarantee I paid full retail since I know where I got this one. It's probably readily available in the $12 to $14 ball park which makes it a super bottle for the dough.
