Littorai 'Cerise Vineyard' Pinot Noir 2019

The 2019 Pinot Noir Cerise Vineyard comes from vines planted in 1998 at 800 to 1,100 feet in elevation and farmed using organically certified materials. They are in the process of conversion to biodynamic farming. Medium ruby in color, it has pure scents of cranberry, burnt orange, desiccated violet, pipe tobacco, tar and forest floor, plus wafts of potpourri. The palate is delicate and super perfumed, with caviar-like bursts of acidity, extraordinarily silky tannins and a tremendously long finish with a fan of floral and spice accents. It's a stunning wine that highlights the potential for top-quality Pinot Noir in the Anderson Valley.
