Country: US /
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Loring Wine Company / Santa Barbara County
A swell deal for lovers of rich Pinot Noir who can’t afford single-vineyard pricing, this countywide blend packs rose petals, stewed red cherries, hibiscus punch, wet gravel, black plum and nutmeg on the nose. The palate is juicy with a wide array of berry and cherry fruit, boosted by gingerbread spice and dark clay minerality. It’s ripe but layered.
