  I agree with prior recent reviews, needs time to open but then develops nice aromatics with red fruit and spice on medium finish.

  Consistent with prior review - Darker than most PN I've experienced. On the nose dark fruit including black cherries and plum with a bit of spice. On the palate raspberries, cherries, and spice. Wonderful acidity, med-long finish. Big for a PN but balanced, and smooth. Good value IMHO for a Pinot of this quality! Will buy more!

  P n P. Dark in glass. Big nose n palate of red n blue fruits. A sharp contrast for us fron the French n NZ pinots of late. Very primary, good length on back side.

  Decanted 1+ hours. Typically Loring, really love these wines. Dranks smooth; primarily fruit and spice that carries in the finish.
