2015 Loring Wine Company Rosella’s Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir

14.3% alc., pH 3.62, 300 cases, $54, screwcap. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. The nose is quite primary, with faint aromas of cherry, spice and nutty oak. A husky version of Rosella’s with a sappy charge of black raspberry and blackberry fruits framed by filigree tannins. Oak plays a supportive role, ample acidity energizes the palate, and there is good length on the finish. Score: 89. Reviewed October 30, 2016
