2013 Loring Wine Company Durell Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

14.5% alc., pH 3.74, 250 cases, $50, screwcap. Released September 2014. · Moderately light reddish purple color in the glass. The nose is not open for business, only offering aromas of bramble and mushroom. Much better on the palate, with a luscious core of black cherry and black raspberry fruit lifted by a lively cut of juicy acidity and a touch of oak enlarging the envelope. Highly satisfying, with a caressing finish. The aromas should arrive with short-term cellaring. Score: 91. Reviewed March 16, 2015
