Popped and poured. Drank over 2 hours. Really enjoyed this wine. soft cherry fruit with a good balance of acidity and tannin. This is not for those who are chasing fruit forward wines. I would drink these with a very short decant, if any. Should be drank over the next 2-3 years.

PnP. Medium light red. Spicy nose w cherries and pomegranate. On the palate this seems to be losing its fruit - sour cherry predominates. Young vines and the very cool vintage seem to have made this more delicate and for shorter term consumption. Still interesting but much less enjoyable than most Littorai.

PnP and tasted over 2 days. Medium red. Red fruited nose - apple, red berries. Light and soft on the palate. Nice but needs to be drunk up as the Littorai folks have said about the 2011s.

Special. A little thin but still felt grand. Maybe it is past peak and was even better earlier.

Beginning to fade. Solid but not enough fruit for a CA pinot, not enough complexity. No faults, just not a particularly interesting or strong wine.

Hmmm. This one seems to be flat lining.

Lighter body, intense fruit (tending toward the cherry side), complexly derived.
