Loring Wine Company Pinot Noir Brosseau Vineyard

Perhaps one of the prettiest Loring I’ve had. The purity of fruit really comes through.

Tasty. A pleasant find in the back of the cellar.

2007 vintage

Showing a deep purple at the core, the color shades to black cherry at the rim. With blueberry on the attack, I�m not likely to love this wine. The blueberry is joined wiwth sweet black cherry, cloves and .... tangerine zest? Um, ok. The palate picks up where the bouquet leaves off where cola joins the mayhem. But it�s short-lived mayhem, as the wine lacks depth or length. Throwing some sediment. 14% alc. With leftover duck cassoulet. Recommended with Reservations. …

2007 vintage

This wine continues to display a deep ruby color. An attack of black cherry, cola, and cloves gives way to teaberry and smoke. But it�s a wine without much depth. While I�ve commented on the balance of this wine in the past, this bottle showed excessive acidity. Maybe it was the food pairing or maybe the fruit is beginning to fade, but this was a bit of a chore to drink. Beginning to throw some sediment just now. 14% alc. …

2007 vintage

As time has passed, this wine has lightened up a touch exhibiting a beautiful deep ruby color. Loads of black cherry, cola, and cloves on the nose and palate. Those notes drive the palate from beginning to finish with side alleys of earth, blueberry, and teaberry and smoke. Nevertheless, this remains a rather linear wine, but one of balance and pleasure. Barely any perceptible sediment. 14% alc. With homemade chili chip nacho while watching the most dramatic comeback in Super …

A little past its peak

2007 vintage

Burgundian. The way I like my pinot.

Still drinking well

2007 vintage

This wine is drinking well. Bright and clear with no bricking. Lots of fruit and good balancing acidity.

2007 vintage

red body, orange rim, in the color. spicy, cherry, on the nose. chemical, blackberry, plum, spice, on the palate. high acid, medium tannins, on the finish.

2007 vintage

A deep and brooding red hits the eye while a big, bold swipe of black cherry and cloves swings for the nose. Another big wine needing more time. Time it may need, but this wine is not nearly as brawny and dense as the Aubaine from last week. The palate delivers black cherry, teaberry, and cloves. Someone mentions �bacon fat� and while I don�t detect that, I do sense a smokey goodness about the wine. The wine pairs well with …

Still really like these loring pinots for cocktail drinking. Why don't I buy more of these and less other expensive bottles?

2007 vintage

Dark cherry and earth aromas. Consistent flavors with predominate earth and acid. Medium body with decent finish.

2007 vintage

Cherry and raspberry fruit, a little cola, and a nice balanced finish of earthiness and oak. Very nice mouth feel, verging on plush. Similar notes as last time but rated it 90+ so clearly my tastes vary over time.

2007 vintage

Sweet fruit and a bit of alcohol on the nose. Definitely a California Pinot palate. A bit one dimensional and disappointing, actually. This bottling is usually a highlight for me.

2007 vintage

Tart sweet black cherry, big plush mouth. drinking very nicely now.

2007 vintage

What Eric said! :-)

2007 vintage

Served with Copper River King salmon, fresh fava beans, and corn. Yum! A full throttled but lovely expression of RRV Pinot. Twangy cherry, touch of licorice candy, not subtle but quite pure and clean in a large mold.

2007 vintage

Bright and lively. Full fruits. Straight forward.

2007 vintage

Pretty red cherry and cola with abit of earthiness and some white pepper on the finish

2007 vintage

Nice dark cherries and ripe plums with a rich, sweet fruit delivery that is enhanced by a great mouthfeel and soft palate. Leads to a nice lingering finish that shouts for more. A hint of raisin and a light touch of oak with some cola and spice. Clean finish with mild dry tannins.

2007 vintage

Tight with some vibrant spice and dark berry and blackberry fruit. Hints of boysenberry as well. Very focused with good structure and apparent minerals and spice. A bit restrained from a fruit perspective overall.

2007 vintage

My first Loring and I was a bit disappointed. It had some pinot flavor but was overripe to the point of raison and portiness. Really non-descript just a jam bomb full on. I can handle ripe in the right circumstance, but when you get to port like it turns me off a bit and this one did.

2007 vintage

Nice blueberry, sour cherry and white pepper on the finish with just abit of earthiness on the nice finish. Not an overly complex wine, but very enjoyable.

2007 vintage

Dark red core, lighter at rim. Cherries, berries on nose and palate, medium body, good balance though a bit on the acidic side, medium finish, very good.

2007 vintage

Brief notes from a poolside afternoon with family - 14% ABV. transparent ruby in the glass. Tangy black cherry with a suggestion of stems and some earth. Seemed somewhat higher toned than the last bottle. Pretty good.

2007 vintage

Middle of the road ripeness for a Cali PN. Probably opened too soon as this was very tight with a lot of tannic structure on opening- it took 3-4 hours in a decanter for this to become enjoyable.

2007 vintage

Medium ruby red in color. Rose petals, earth notes on the nose. Plummy, blackberry, dusty fruit. Some sweet vanilla, ripe overall with sweet fruit. Earthy flavors. However, this is very structured with big, fruit, big tannins, and big acidity. Very nice bottle.

2007 vintage

14.% ABV. Translucent ruby appearance. Touch reticent Tangy black cherry. Touch of stem. Somewhat perfumed black cherry fruit. Bright slightly hard candy cherry fruit. Pretty nice.

2007 vintage

Cherries, berries, fairly acidic, medium body, short-medium finish, good with salmon, good to very good

2007 vintage

Sort of thin and acidic. Atypical for a Loring and a Loring Brosseau. Heat, really sweet red cherry. Probably too young. Let it sit for a couple of years.

2007 vintage

Pretty dark for a Pinot, but has a lovely ripe black and red cherry nose, deep and intense, some notes of strawberries, herbs, anise. Ripe initially on the palate, sweet cherry and plum, but this has a dry and juicy edge, almost hard that shows the wines youth. This wine worked great with food, but was a little dry without. Enjoyed this though and had enough Pinot complexity to merit an outstanding score.

2007 vintage

A floral and medicinal nose. Smells a bit like ink. Gamy and blackberries on the palate. Some earth and beef elements. Pepper. Good crisp acidity and smooth finish.

2007 vintage

Falltacular 2009 (Casa Murray - San Juan Capistrano, CA) : Plush notes of dark cherries, black plums, and black raspberries. Soft on the palate with a nice lingering finish.

2007 vintage

Distinctly Graham vineyard with aromatic notes of candied cherries, baking spice and brown sugar. Nice acidity and well rounded with little to no heat.
