2012 Loring Wine Company Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

14.8% alc., $32, screwcap. · Medium reddish-purple color in the glass. Welcoming aromas of Bing cherry, spice and oak cask which tend to fade a bit over time in the glass. Rich and juicy with plenty of sweet, sappy black cherry fruit accented with cola and peppery spice. A fruit-driven wine with well-integrated tannins that aims to please. Score: 87.
