I really love Rosellas pinots too Philip, Haven’t opened any Loring 06’s yet but will soon. Loring was one of the producers that I had too let go this year.
did not get a chance to taste the 2007 loring clos pepe, but here is my note on the russell:
2007 Loring Wine Company Pinot Noir Russell Family Vineyard- USA, California, Central Coast, Paso Robles (1/24/2009) Falltacular 2009 (Casa Murray - San Juan Capistrano, CA): Ripe and full on the palate with notes of black cherries, boysenberries, and a touch of candied orange peel. Very easy to drink. 88-89 points. (88 pts.)
