  January 14, 2020 - Started out a bit sweet but that subsided over time. Easy drinking pinot with some twiggy notes and black cherry. Fairly light body. Became balanced but never exciting. Drink up, it'll not get better from here.

  October 12, 2018 - PnP and had with pizza. This big bold wine has aged nicely. Still rich with dark cherry profile, it has rounded a bit and perhaps become a bit more food friendly . Good to see how well this was on it's back 9.

  April 17, 2017 - Still hanging on. Some really nice ripe cherry and strawberry fruit. Pretty classic ripe CA pinot, not overly nuanced but the fruit is very pure and tasty. This is starting to dry out some, with a little bit of a short finish. Having been on the Loring list for a while, I think most of these wines are early drinkers, with a 2-5 year sweet spot. Was nice to find this though and see what they do with some age.

  November 1, 2015 - Drank alongside the 2011. We prefer the '11 vintage. This '10 has more jammy fruit and not as clean, it is somewhat muddled. The spices are more subdued than the '11.
