September 8, 2017 - Not decanted but dramatically improved after an hour plus of air.. pine, berries on the nose, Jammy red fruit, dark berries, cola flavor. Dramatically different than The last bottle popped a year ago.

January 8, 2017 - PnP and had with pork roast. Big and Jammy red fruit. To be honest a bit overwhelming for the food. Full throttle in the Loring style, but pehaps my least favorite AVA. Mrs Coupe called it grape juicy. Not bad, but not a Home run either

December 22, 2016 - This Loring is much more bolder with big cherry fruit and cinnamon spice. Has a nice lingering finish.
