2015 Loring Wine Company Clos Pepe Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir

14.8% alc., pH 3.56, 150 cases, $54, screwcap. · Moderately light reddish purple color in the glass. Aromas of black cherry, spice rub, potpourri and nutty oak give way in the mouth to a heady core of black cherry fruit that is framed by nutty oak. The velvety texture is quite seductive and the overall balance is commendable. Drinks well now but balance predicts good age ability. Score: 92. Reviewed October 30, 2016
