Ripe red fruits, light bodied, an excellent everyday wine.

This Loring wine has snuck-up and smacked me right in the face. What a beautiful Pinot. I am not usually a big fruit type of a wine guy but this is an exception. There is wonderful cherry, minerality and earthy notes on the nose. The palate is a smooth, creamy, eucalyptus, and big sweet cherries with hints of smoke. Very lovely and well rounded.

Well my wife and I picked up this nice wine in the Santa Rita Hills AVA of Santa Barbara last year. It was an enjoyable wine. Very reminiscent of the region, meaty, savory, tar-like notes. I would have guested it for a blend in a blind tasting. It was well made wine and thoroughly enjoyable.
