  • No longer showing “Loring Red” at the rim; just a solid cranberry color from rim to core. Sour cherry, pomegranate, cloves, cola and vanilla. “Big” continues to be an apt discriptor what with its big nose and attack and its long finish. The tannins are fully integrated. Glycerol-like mouthfeel delivers a sense of the wine gliding across the palate. Well fruited, balanced, long finished; what’s not to lover here? Between this, the Clos Pepe and Cargasacchi, this takes the prize by just edging out the Clos Pepe. Both this and the Clos Pepe leave the Cargasacchi in the dust. 14.3% alc. 600 cases. With duck cassoulet and the Schreibers and Fords. Recommended.

  • The color is plum at the core and “Loring Red” at the rim; bright and exuberant. The nose is molasses, black cherry, rosemary, cedar and mocha. This wine has shed so much of its initial profile and become something much better; much more complex. The wine is a touch shrill with acid, but it evens out on the mid-palate. The wine is exuberant and lively. 14.3% alc. With roasted bone-in pork chop under a balsamic cranberry sauce. 600 cases. Recommended.

  • Pleasantly surprised with this wine. One of my last 2006 Lorings, this clearly showed some age, but it was very well integrated with the fruit. Some slight bricking, but otherwise a beautiful translucent burgundy color. Nice finish, and an otherwise lovely wine.

  • The color is not at all opaque but what we now call “Loring Red” which is neither magenta, nor ruby nor burgundy, but a color with shades of all of these. The nose is all violets, dusty rose, cola and teaberry and something herbal. The blueberry scent of a bottle 3 years ago is nowhere to be detected. Like before, “the bouquet is integrated and inviting.” Something a tad earthy on the finish, maybe even green. Drink now. 14.3% alc. With roasted salmon under a mustard-panko crust. 600 cases. Recommended.
