OMG - three GREAT vintages in a row. As the old adage says, the third one is often the best. And so it is with the 2012, 2013, and 2014 vintages. The 2014s are FREAKIN' STUNNING. I mean seriously, crazy good! They're really rich and wonderfully concentrated, and loaded with all that super tasty Loring goodness that we're known for. Easily the best vintage since 2009, and maybe even better than that. We're super pumped about these wines. Wow! Did I say they're awesome? WooHoo!!

These Pinots are the best single vineyard wines we've produced since 2009. And the Chardonnays are the best ever. The Pinots are bright, fresh, plush, and silky smooth. The Chardonnays are lush and yet a bit brighter and more focused than previous vintages, with a nice minerality streak running through them. SUPER YUMMY!!

The wine is exceptionally fruity, brimming with ripe raspberries, plums, cranberries and pomegranates, and is finished with a stimulating spiciness. The acidity is just fine. There is also a welcome animal- earthiness suggesting wild mushrooms and blood-rare steak. Steve Heimoff. - 94 Points

Raspberries, cherries, pomegranates, with crisp, Lifesaver candy acidity and a gentle scour of tannins. There’s oak in there, not too much, and the alcohol is moderate. The result is a savory, delicious wine. The smokiness suggests lamb chops, and you can throw in some roasted new potatoes. - Steve Heimoff. 94 Points

Great structure, with a mouthwatering hit of acidity highlighting deliciously complex flavors of raspberries, red cherries and persimmons. At the same time, there’s a grounding earthiness that reminds me of Portobello mushrooms, oiled and grilled: a savory umami thing. Wildly tasty. - Steve Heimoff. 96 Points

Very dark in the glass, this bottling shows blackberry jam, crushed slate, turned black loam and hot baking spice on the nose. There is prominent structure to the palate, where olallieberry meets with smashed clove, bay leaf, black pepper and vanilla. The acid is seamlessly integrated. - Wine Enthusiast. 93 Points
