  I was very surprised how much I enjoyed this Loring Pinot from 2008. It was much bigger than what I expected and improved over several hours.

  Either a bad bottle or past its prime. It did make a great wine reduction sauce.

  Good dark fruit and dark red color. Very plush mouth feel. Didn't get a lot of other sensations beside fruit, but it was a long lingering finish so that made up for some of the simple flavors. Good with a Sunday sugo, not not so great with a wasabi salmon.
  
  11/5/12 Similar to last time, I found this to be a simple, pleasant wine. It's hard to complain about that, and many a time I've had something that made me wish for simple & pleasant, but I like some complexity in my Pinot.

  Dark garnet color with dark fruits, earth, and baking spice aromas. On the palate medium-bodied, complex, with vibrant fruit, and cherry, cola, earth, vanilla and spice flavors. Medium long finish. Definitely a bigger style PN, but I really enjoyed!

  Twisted and poured, consumed over the next three hours. Didn't get as much oak on the nose as in the past. Still a big wine with lots of red cherry, cinnamon, cola and baking spices. Lush and in balance even with the prominent fruit.
