The 2021 Sonoma Coast provides real pleasure immediately out of the bottle. Gave this burgundy inspired pinot a nice 1 hour decant and on the nose you experience some nice cherry and berry fruit along with a hint of rhubarb as well as flint and graphite. On the palet, a nice balance of cherry and red fruit comes alive with some baking spice and high acidity. The wine is well structured and certainly intended to be enjoyed earlier rather than later. A solid 90 on the Wine Spectator 100 point scale. Sonoma Coast offers a glimpse of the depth, complexity, and general quality of the 2021 vintage. Very enjoyable!

Popped and poured in a restaurant and found it to possess primary notes of minerality and herbaciousness with muted tones of dried fruit. A sour apple tinge on the palette with a crisp acidic finish.

Clearly needs decanting or two hours in the glass, but opens up beautifully and shows well for a wine made to drink rather than age. I’m impressed and I’ve bought Littorai for at least 15 years.

PnP. Medium red. Nose of cherries and raspberry. Quite intense for this bottling; bodes well for the vintage.
