Full-bodied and heavy in the Loring style, an extracted wine filled with exciting fruit and berry flavors, but lacking the delicacy and finesse you expect from Pinot Noir.——S.H.(5/1/2009)—— 85

Keefer has not been Loring’s most successful bottling. The ’06 is pleasant, and in its own way delicious, with upfront raspberry, cherry, cola and smoky vanilla flavors balanced with crisp acidity. But it has a candied one-dimensionality, and doesn’t seem likely to age.——S.H.(6/1/2008)—— 85
