2018 Loring Wine Company Pinot Noir Rancho La Vina - USA, California, Central Coast, Sta. Rita Hills (11/28/2020)
Shockingly light color density. Even from a full glass this is translucent. Rhubarb, cherry, spice and a hint of cola on the nose are followed up by a merely light to medium bodied palate. It struggles a little to hide it’s alcohol due to the lightness, but after thirty minutes it fills out, and achieves a pretty balance. Interesting wine that strikes me as an outlier in the Loring range.
