2014 Loring Wine Company Garys’ Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir

14.8% alc., pH 3.73, 400 cases, $50. Released September 2015. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. Shy, but pleasing scent of fresh macerated cherries. Very charming in the mouth, with flavors of black cherry and blueberry that build over time. Quite silky with balanced tannins, a deft touch of oak, and a lip-smacking finish. Score: 91.
