Pinot Report
Medium-deep ruby color; complex plum and earthy pepper aromas; rich plum flavors with earthy and pepper notes; some toasty oak and tannin; great structure and balance, long finish.I'm always impressed by the depth and nuance of wines made from the Clos Pepe vineyard and this Pinot is no exception to that rule.
Wine Spectator
Firmly tannic, well-structured and deeply concentrated, with a complex mix of dark berry, spice, plum and blackberry. Full-bodied and well-balanced, this is one of the most backward and promising of the young new Lorings. Best from 2011 through 2020.
