In the context of its value, this is a blockbuster Pinot Noir and quintessential of what Brian Loring does. I'm in agreement with Josh Raynolds take of "...red fruit preserves, incense, minerals and wisteria. Stains the palate with intense raspberry liqueur and floral pastille flavors..." That said, Allen Meadows does well in pointing out the "...lower register aromas of plum, dark berries and earth nuances." I will add that this has "pop" or "verve" or "tension" that puts all these flavors on blast.

One of my favorite 2013 California Pinots, this wine sings with spicy red fruits, an accessible structure and a great finish. Love this wine.

2013 vintage. Earth and mushroom on the nose. Tasty and complex earth and darker fruits on the palate with good structure and a great finish. Excellent juice.
