One of the fun times is meeting legendary wine makers...Peter and Brian both make interesting wines mostly from the santa barbera and point north to Paso Robles.2008 Point Concepcion Chardonnay ... round fruit from the sunshine but acidity and crispness.
2009 Point Concepcion Rose of Pinot Grigio.. made in the style of Northern Italian pinot grigio... keep on the skins for longer than usual the pinot grigio picks up a pretty pink color. rounder than most rose but still crisp enough for summer days
2008 Point Concepcion Syrah.. beautiful nose of meat and earth and roses... a little quicker on the finish than I hoped for but great while it lasted
this vintage the Loring wines were labeled with posts from each of the vineyard sites used.
Loring Shea Vineyards Willamette 2008 ..big bright fruit.. mocha and dusty on the finish... pretty
Loring Russell Vineyard 2008 from a warmer region than most pinot is grown in, this was all about big beefy flavors that would ho;d their own against a steak.
Loring Rossela Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands.. soft supple fruit, pretty flavors
Loring Naylor Dry Hole 2008 named for his 5 attempts to drill a well for the vineyard sites. lots of spice and juicy red fruit.. a soft finish...
