2010 Loring Wine Company Keefer Ranch Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

14.9% alc., $48, screw cap. · Medium reddish-purple color in the glass. Lovely perfume of hi-tone black cherries with pie spice. Lush black cherry fruit with hints of herbal oak and cola. Seductively soft in the mouth with reasonable length on the finish. Lacks the usual tension of wines from this cool vineyard and overplays the fruit angle, but is still a very alluring drink. This vineyard consistently outperforms many others from this region. Very good. Reviewed April 4, 2012
