Smoking Loon was established in 2000 on a very simple premise: good wine doesn’t need to take itself so seriously. Originally named for Don Sebastiani’s love of cigars and his father August’s passion for water fowl (don’t ask, long story), Smoking Loon offers an irreverent, tongue-in-cheek approach to enjoying wine.
Tasting Notes
Smoking Loon Syrah offers lush aromas of blueberry, vanilla bean and a hint of cedar. Blueberry pie filling, creme brulee and toasted brioche flavors provide a perfect balance to the bright acidity on the finish.
Serving Suggestion
This medium to full-bodied Syrah is a perfectfood wine best enjoyed with leg of lamb shawarma, Cuban pulled pork sandwiches or grilled sausages. Syrah also pairs well with hard and mild cheeses or soft and strong cheeses, such as aged Cheddar, Manchego, smoked Gouda or Bualo Mozzarella.
