Drank this after the cabs yesterday. More intense than the Rancho and with a tad more tannins. Mouth-coating fruit that I knew was Pinot 'cause my reading skills have improved, but my taste buds kept saying
" Who is that masked bottle any-whoos? ".Even after an afternoon of sipping the juice this is a show-stopper. A solid 4&1/2 lapper finish puts this hummer in the big leagues. 92/90. 45 on the mailing list. 14.1% alc. WW

Do you recall the 2002 ROAR Rosella's? How would you compare the two? The ROAR was made by Adam Lee with Gary and Rose in attendance, so there's going to be some style differences from Brian's stuff. I remember what Glenora said about the ROAR over at Foodie's.

Seems the Loring is a tad bit more powerful and the ROAR had a scosh more finesse. Both have a warm cockle in my heart.WW [img]http://wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img]
