Andrew Jones of Field Recordings has stood in just about every vineyard on California's Central Coast — that's the day job, as a grapevine nurseryman. Loomis #1 is one of his favorite finds: an old-vine, dry-farmed, organically-tended Zinfandel block in Paso Robles' Estrella District that he was eventually offered fruit from on the side. This is the single-block bottling, and it's the Zin Jones builds his case on — a serious, structured wine made in tiny quantities, fermented in open-top tanks and aged in American oak. After several years in bottle, the 2019 has settled into its stride: spice, dried-berry depth, and the kind of poise you don't always associate with Paso Zin.
