This is a fabulous vineyard. The growers go to endless pains, and the talented winemakers at Loring rose to the occasion and have produced a compelling Pinot Noir. Dry and crisp in acids, it’s enormously complex, with the cherry, pomegranate and cola fruit flavors made more interesting with the tastes of earth, mushrooms, balsamic and espresso.——S.H.(6/1/2008)—— 94

Revealing a medium ruby hue along with more herb and earth in its strawberry and cherry-scented bouquet, the 2005 Pinot Noir Cargasacchi Vineyard is a fruit-forward effort. Medium-bodied, tasty, fresh flavors are found in this elegant, finesse-styled Pinot. Tel. (877) LWC-WINE; Fax (805) 735-7416
