I picked up some 2004s and 2005s last decade to see what all the hoopla was about. After having 1 or 2 Lorings a year over the past 3 years I have concluded they are not for me. They are all well-made wines but seem to be lacking something. Interestingly, I have found all of the 2005 Palis that I’ve had more enjoyable then any of the Lorings I’ve tried…

2005 Loring Wine Company Pinot Noir Rancho Ontiveros Vineyard - USA, California, Central Coast, Santa Maria Valley (2/2/2010)
Funky, barnyardy aromas with a touch of spice that on day 2 had candied fruit added. Simple tastes on the palate of dark cherry and maybe a touch of cola. Seems well made but fairly uninteresting to me. Very Good.
