Littorai, Anderson Valley (Sonoma County, California) Pinot Noir 2009

Nov 14, 2012

By

 This wine has a brighter, lithe nose that signals a departure from Ted Lemon’s Sonoma Coast bottlings.  This 1.8 acre vineyard produced a wine with bright raspberry, kirsch, and red plum aromas wrapped around licorice, orange, and coffee notes.  This attractive nose leads into a palate that is supple yet structured with bright acidity and drying tannins.  The finish is fruit and minerals, closing on a dusty note.  This is a firm but elegant wine.
