2013 Loring Wine Company Cargasacchi Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir

14.3% alc., pH 3.64, 200 cases, $50, screwcap. Released February 2015. · Moderately light reddish purple color in the glass. A darker fruited wine with admirable finesse. Aromas of earthy flora, black raspberry, spice and oak lead to mid weight flavors of black cherry and blackberry with an herbal vein in the background. Silky in the mouth with balanced tannins and some finishing goodness. A bit shallow and atypical for Cargasacchi Vineyard, but still quite satisfying. Score: 90. Reviewed March 16, 2015
