Country: US / Keefer Ranch Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Loring Wine Company / Green Valley
Keefer has not been Loring’s most successful bottling. The ’06 is pleasant, and in its own way delicious, with upfront raspberry, cherry, cola and smoky vanilla flavors balanced with crisp acidity. But it has a candied one-dimensionality, and doesn’t seem likely to age.
