title: Loring Wine Company 2013 Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)
description: Fresh black cherries and a bit of licorice are laced through the nose of this appellation blend by single-vineyard star Brian Loring. The palate is all about exotic spice, from ginger and black sage to anise seeds and cola, also showing some umami flavors reminiscent of shiitake mushrooms.
variety: Pinot Noir
