2005 Loring Rancho Ontiveros, Russell Family, Rosellas', Clos Pepe, and Garys'.

At the Thurs meeting at the club all the guys wanted to try some older Lorings so these are the dudies I brung. Nothing specific but the over-all impression was a fine group of tasty, well-made, outstanding wines. Forgot to post yesterday as some friends from Denver hit town. We'll be cracking the foil on some juice today as it's raining and they can't kill any grass at the golf course. The 05s' are all drinking IMHO very well and didn't detect any sizable amount of tannins. This was the 1st year if you remember that Brian went to his more conservative style and the wines came out a a mere 13.2% alc. Will probably improve over the next year but why wait? WW
