Loring Wine Company 2015 Huber Vineyard Dornfelder (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / Huber Vineyard
Variety: Dornfelder California
Winery: Loring Wine Company / Sta. Rita Hills

From vines of this German grape planted by German ex-pats many years ago, Brian Loring makes a delicious wine. Dark and inky in the glass, it shows aromas of concentrated blueberry, vanilla, mint and grape candy on the nose. The palate is surprisingly medium bodied for such a dark wine, with a decent dollop of acidity along with lots of dried blueberry and juniper flavors.
