  As always, the usual “Loring purple”; and I say so not dismissively, but impressed with Brian’s consistency. A vibrant nose of black cherry, cola and cinnamon. Cola (almost Dr. Pepper) leads the nose, but the other dimensions soon fill in only to be joined by cranberry and clove. The vanilla element of the cola magnifies on the finish. Almost no sediment. 14.3% alc. With various homemade pizzas including duck fired in the Ooni. 10.01.23. Recommended.

  This did not hit the spot tonight... seemed more acid than typical Loring.
  Over the hill, bad bottle, or just different tastes tonight?

  Very gorgeous wine. On the nose, floral notes blend with a bit of spiciness like dried orange peel toward clove. Pallet is simply exuberant: ripe strawberry just right amount of acidity. Seems youthful: holding up very well in 2022. Should drink great for another eight years or so. Wonderful.

  Holding up well. Garnet. Medium to full body. Typical Loring robust fruit style. Black cherries, mulling spices, sweet wood.

  Wonderful example on CA Pinot Noir. Great fruit with silky tannins. Pro tasting notes say drink by 2022 but I believe it will go a few years more with no problem.
