Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 28, 2012 - Bottle variation: you can’t live with it and you can drink yourself to death trying to avoid it. Three months ago, I wasn’t sure about this wine. Now? It rocks! While I was unsure what to pair with the pork belly, I knew I wanted something with a smokey quality and something that wouldn’t bowl over the plate. If I was to grab a Loring, it would have to be a lighter Loring. Fishing, I pulled this out. The color is unchanged: a captivating cranberry from the core to the rim. More cranberry than black cherry. And then the smoke; just lovely with the sauced pork belly. Sage, anise, some cola, earth all very distinct and full on the midpalate and finish. 13.2% alc. With BB, DD and PM for her birthday dinner of pork belly, collard greens and ham and grits. Damn fine with the pork belly. Recommended.
