Red fruits and spice on the nose and the palate. Bright, juicy fruits, wrapped in a medium- bodied package. Well balanced with good acidity and a clipped finish. Drinking well now but unlikely to improve. Drink now through 2025.

Mid-weight palate of cool climate in season red cherries and vosne spice. Very long. Not a lot of tannin, but good balance suggests it will hold for a while yet.

First Littorai. I clearly don't drink enough of these. Lovely, balanced wine, restrained, yet reflective of Sonoma Coast. Big whiff of raspberry on opening, some plum mixes in on palate, with a little white pepper, touch of baking spice and nice long finish. Wine shows the acidity of the vintage, but not a problem and was lovely with food or its own. Drink or hold.

While this has just a touch of Sonoma juiciness and aroma, this is far from the stereotype. It has a savory mid-palate and some mouth-watering acidity on the finish. Balanced, elegant, and fine—truly well-made Pinot noir that represents its site and cool vintage.

Bright and clear Burgundy color.
Quite a young nose of orange peel, red cherries,

Bottle variation? Fairly tart, lacked any sort of depth. Certainly not as satisfying as my previous bottle
