2004 Loring Keefer Ranch Pinot Noir

[winoweenie]

Opened the 1st of this hummer today and it was definately atypical of most of the other 04 Lorings' I've tried. Brite ruby. Nose highlighted by huge black fruits along with enough funk to let you know it's pinot, and the lovely GOOD barnyard scents. Earthiness and a hint of strawberries are also present. All hit the palate sprining and the mouthfeel is awesome. Entry is solid with a massive center and a 4&1/2 lapper finish. Still some noticible tannins on the finish that could resolve in another 1-2. REALLY super juice that gives loads of satisfaction. 94/92.
