93 Pinot Report

"Medium ruby color; lovely aromas of blue fruit and red cherry with floral notes; rich and deep flavors of blueberry and cherry with subtle cranberry notes; silky texture with some tannins; good structure and balance; long finish. Subtle and silky Pinot with layers of flavor."

92-93 Josh Raynolds - Vinous Media

"Vivid ruby. Expansive aromas of fresh dark berries, incense and potpourri are brightened by an intense spicy nuance. Silky, seamless and broad on the palate, offering sweet black raspberry and boysenberry flavors complemented by a suave rose pastille note. Finishes very long and sappy, with resonating floral character and smooth, fully integrated tannins."

92 Wine Enthusiast

"This is certainly a wine to drink immediately, as its hibiscus, green cardamom and smoky pork notes can't get any better. It's a little leaner than many Loring wines, but the clove, nutmeg and mace spice up the cherry compote and blackberry-vinaigrette reduction qualities, with just a touch of soy for more umami fun."

92 Jeb Dunnuck - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"While most of Brian's Pinot Noirs see roughly 15% new French oak, the 2014 Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard was brought up all in neutral wood. Medium to full-bodied, layered and textured, with notable structure and acidity, it offers lots of black cherry and currant-like fruit intermixed with notions of sassafras, dried herbs and spice. Drink it through 2022."
