Another Pinot I’ve had several btls of and somehow not yet rated….love this and I’m not sure I’ve had a wine this old in better shape…for that I credit the twist off cap. Very sparkly on opening but mellows quickly, excellent cherry fruit, just a touch acidic on the back end. I think another Loring connected producer — 10 months ago

Somehow it looks like I haven’t reviewed this yet despite halfway thru the batch and possibly my favorite ever Pinot?? Powerful fruit on the nose but far more nuanced on the palate - superb expression of the grape. More recent vintages no worse for the (lack of) wear. Buy up anything connected to Brian Loring — 2 years ago

Loring is underrated in my book - maybe the screw cap puts people off but I’m into this producer. — 7 months ago

My favorite single-vineyard Loring so far. The smoked meat elements I love in Pinot. — a year ago

Love anything Loring…this one is OTH but not so far over as to be undrinkable…can taste the perfect bones under the barnyard/funk — 2 years ago

Loved the ‘09 and a fan of Shea. This was near the best of both. Bright red fruit. No tannin. Nothing not to like. Would buy a case of it if I could find it. — 9 months ago

Fruit forward dominated by cassis and blueberries. Not overly complex but enjoyable. A little tobacco emerges on the finish. Won’t evolve from here. — 2 years ago
