Going away party for Neighbor's....no formal tasting notes.
Consistent with previous note: Screw cap. At nine years of age, has some bricking but fruit is still there - mostly red fruit with med acidity. Honestly, kinda surprised me this was still doing so well. Needed about 15-20 mins in the glass to warm up.

Lovely ruby color with jewel-like depth. Blueberry, boysenberry, raspberry fruit; it has these all in spades without seeming over-extracted. Took a turn for tartness as it finished crossing the palate that didn't wear off until the bottle spent a couple of hours in the open. Decant the next one.
1/28/2021 Had a '14 Rosella's the other night and remembered the same profile as this Gary's: lots of fruit and a very tart finish. Went back in my notes and that seems to be a common theme in all his '14's. So note to self to let any of them breathe first. No pop and pour in this vintage.

Candied cherry, cola, gravel. Slight smoky character. In Loring style, heftier than a typical pinot and showing a good deal of fruit after a decade.

Took 20+ minutes to open but when it did this Loring Pinot was top quality. Robust flavor profile.
