Another Pinot I’ve had several btls of and somehow not yet rated….love this and I’m not sure I’ve had a wine this old in better shape…for that I credit the twist off cap. Very sparkly on opening but mellows quickly, excellent cherry fruit, just a touch acidic on the back end. I think another Loring connected producer — 3 years ago

Another excellent Loring Pinot…this one Sierra Mar vs earlier Gary’s vineyard…clear vs the Gary’s being muddy, straight up cherry on the nose but still refined, solid fruit but not overwhelming. — 4 years ago

Beautiful honey aroma. Lavender.

Pale ale color.

Recommended by the Somm who said he begged his boss to get it on the menu. He described it as a wine that the snobs love to hate, but that is super idiosyncratic with this varietal, which just made me want to get it for us even more.

Date night with bae (at Loring Place) means we must have orange wine, so we settled on this one.

Nice bubbles, balances with a pleasant acidity. Nice tart finish. Bee pollen. Wildflowers and orange zest. — 5 years ago

Very nice, berry, chocolate and spice flavors. Heavier than most Pinot noirs but livelier as well — 6 years ago

Very nice and approachable Pinot. Different in style from the Loring wines but still well made. No sharp edges, soft and subtle fruit with a more savory edge than loring style. Well priced and definitely worth the case purchase. — 8 years ago

Love anything Loring…this one is OTH but not so far over as to be undrinkable…can taste the perfect bones under the barnyard/funk — 3 years ago

Fruit forward dominated by cassis and blueberries. Not overly complex but enjoyable. A little tobacco emerges on the finish. Won’t evolve from here. — 4 years ago

9.1

Overwhelming bee pollen, a sweet rawness in the bouquet. Clementines. The childhood memory of the fragrance of running through an unkempt garden. Rose thorns.

Intense minerality. Limestone. Soil that births luscious fruit. The musk of nature, starting with a tangerine envelope of flavor and ending with a distinct pungency of grapefruit.

First had this at Loring Place in the West Village. Love it at home, too. — 5 years ago

Really enjoyed this. For a southern california wine it has some Russian river, even sea smoke character. Beautiful nose, finish, balance. — 6 years ago

14’ Loring Rosella’s Chardonnay. Color- Pale Gold
Palate- Ripe apple, white peach, spot of Carmel, lightened acidity with a streak of chalkiness to it.
Absolutely a pop & pour. Nice bottle. — 7 years ago

Probably started as a 9.1 but ended at a 9.2 after the bubbles toned down just a touch. An extremely balanced Blanc de Blanc with a bit of yeast, great acid, and a nice long persistent finish. Excellent with all sorts of food at Loring Place. — 8 years ago

Somehow it looks like I haven’t reviewed this yet despite halfway thru the batch and possibly my favorite ever Pinot?? Powerful fruit on the nose but far more nuanced on the palate - superb expression of the grape. More recent vintages no worse for the (lack of) wear. Buy up anything connected to Brian Loring — 3 years ago

Light and bright. A little too light for me. Black fruit. Red cherry. Not as robust as previous vintages, if I recall correctly but still solid. Loring consistently delivers. — 7 years ago
