  Drink now. Still plenty of life in it, but we don't think it's gonna get better than it is right now. Dense strawberries, plushy tannins. yum.

  Just a deliciously balanced Pinot Noir !!
  Consumed with friends at dinner, this wine really shined. I agree with my tasting note of a few months ago. My last bottle of this vintage.

  Just like the other 2009 Littorai Pinot Noirs, this wine is spectacular and at its peak !!
  A perfect cork after over a decade in the bottle, easily removed. Consumed this bottle over the course of two days. This balanced Pinot Noir showed more fruit on the first day and had softened some to reveal a wonderful depth and complexity on the second day. Medium ruby color with little to no oxidation and medium clarity. Aromas of cranberry, cherry, and spice. Flavors of black cherry, pomegranate, rhubarb and forest floor. This Pinot Noir has a medium to long finish. A balanced and flavorful Pinot Noir that may have more years of life remaining, fortunately I still have one bottle of this vintage remaining in the cellar. The great fruit from this vineyard was purchased on a by-the-acre contract. The One Acre is located on a hilltop vineyard sits at 1,600 feet elevation in the mountains northeast of Booneville in the Anderson Valley appellation in Mendocino County. Dijon 114, 777 & 828 and Swann clones planted on soils of Bearwallow loam over marine origin sandstone. All of these elements and great winemaking from Ted Lemmon combine to consistently produce a fine Pinot Noir.

  PnP. Cellared at 58 since release. Medium ruby. Lovely nose of cherry and strawberry with some spicy red apple as well. This has a lovely winey quality on the palate, rich but intense. Seems quite young although any tannins are subsumed in the fruit. Clearly from a richer vintage so transparency is a bit buried in the fruit. I think these vines were very young, the vineyard having been replanted due to Phylloxera.Drinking very well but not a rush.
