2005 Loring Keefer Ranch

[winoweenie]

Loved the 04 version so much decided to skip ahead a year. Nice brite ruby. Nose of bothe black and red fruits with sweet spices, mulch, and some barney. All come over on the palate along with a much softer mouthfeel than previous Lorings. Soft entry, solid center and a 4 lapper finish. Still some tannins in the background that need another 1-3 to resolve. Good stuff. 90/90 44 13.8% alc!!!!! WW

Had another of these yesterday with some fresh Copper River Salmon. 1st of the seasson here in the desert. Killer food, and a wine to match. WW

Did it for lunch yesterday with my 1st copper salmon of the season. This bottle seemed not to have the intensity that the previous bottles have shown. Mite, just mite be on the down-snort. WW
