2015 Loring Wine Company Keefer Ranch Vineyard Green Valley of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

14.3% alc., pH 3.60, 500 cases, $54, screwcap. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. The nose offers aromas of earth, forest floor, and marzipan. The fruit flavors of black raspberry, black currant, blackberry compete with oak-driven flavors of anise, spice, tobacco and nuts. The tannins and acidity are in harmony and the satiny texture is welcome, but this wine has a tart, lemony finish, and lacks the Keefer Ranch signature. It could be from anywhere. Score: 87.
