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.

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
