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..

Really lovely, full bodied (for a Pinot) and very fruit driven.
