March 21, 2024 - Candied cherry, cola, gravel. Slight smoky character. In Loring style, heftier than a typical pinot and showing a good deal of fruit after a decade.

July 3, 2023 - Going away party for Neighbor's....no formal tasting notes.
Consistent with previous note: Screw cap. At nine years of age, has some bricking but fruit is still there - mostly red fruit with med acidity. Honestly, kinda surprised me this was still doing so well. Needed about 15-20 mins in the glass to warm up. -

November 19, 2020 - Lovely ruby color with jewel-like depth. Blueberry, boysenberry, raspberry fruit; it has these all in spades without seeming over-extracted. Took a turn for tartness as it finished crossing the palate that didn't wear off until the bottle spent a couple of hours in the open. Decant the next one.
1/28/2021 Had a '14 Rosella's the other night and remembered the same profile as this Gary's: lots of fruit and a very tart finish. Went back in my notes and that seems to be a common theme in all his '14's. So note to self to let any of them breathe first. No pop and pour in this vintage. -

May 15, 2020 - Took 20+ minutes to open but when it did this Loring Pinot was top quality. Robust flavor profile.
