WTN: 2014 Loring Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard

[David M. Bueker]

Every once in a while I want a wine like What Brian Loring makes. It goes right past the analytical part of my brain. No thinking, just fruit.

2014 Loring Wine Company Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard - USA, California, Central Coast, Santa Lucia Highlands (1/27/2017)
Fresh, juicy, Jolly Rancher style black cherry and berry fruit with some spice and vanilla. It's just a glass of pure, unvarnished fun juice.

I understand the need for 'fun juice'. Cute term.

That's usually when I reach for Zinfandel.

I hear ya, David..We go back a long ways with Brian Loring, having first met Brian in this Forum when he was looking for someone to have dinner with in the Syracuse area a number of years ago..Since then, we have also gotten together with Brian for dinner in California as well....It was Brian who got me back into drinking Cal PN's, getting me hooked with his Garys" and Clos Pepe PN's, two dramatically different yet stunning iterations of PN ----and yes, when I want some fun juice, I think first of Loring PN's..
