2008 Loring Wine Company Pinot Noir Russell Family VineyardPaso Robles more |
Wine Library TV, Gary VaynerchukBrian Loring of Loring Wine Company - Part 2, Episode #851 (4/23/2010) Pinot Noir - Paso Robles, CA. COLOR-medium/dark; NOSE-a little tight; PALATE-the first half is very bright, big and bold; I almost thought it was going to be too big for me; but the 2nd half shows a lot of acidity; freshness and structure; it finishes aggressive, but calmer than the initial attack; this is still a big Pinot Noir; Brian says, "I love this wine. The greatest steak Pinot ever!"; PR-92; WS-91; GV-No Score |
