I expected more but this single vineyard was not as good as their PN area wines. There were a slight bit of PN notes, cola, fruit but very thin and watery. Nose was nothing.

Down the fairway Loring Pinot - explosive fruit; heavy cherry, but not offensive or a bomb, just refined enough and darker than you’d expect

My last bottle - seems to be at peak. Fruit forward with good peppery finish. Acidity waning a bit but still in a good place. Damn good for $30!

Wow. 2010 is drinking crazy. Losing a bit of it acidity, but luscious balanced fruit. Just freaking delicious..

An oddly appropriate choice for this insomnia-laden Saturday night. Easy-drinking, delicious blue and black fruit, subtle savory spice, I can dig it this late or at any time of day.

Fruit forward with big black cherry. Smooth with slight pepper finish.
