Littorai
Block E Wendling Vineyard Pinot Noir
A captivating tour de force for Cali Pinot. A powerful, dense and firm wine laced with elegance and balance. Enjoy its presence as a ‘wild’ personality for Ted’s portfolio. Links blackberry preserves, sarsaparilla, cherry bark, crushed rocks and tannin. Still supple with sweet tones at year 5 and will age well.

Oct 4th, 2023Outstanding. Powerful dark range of fruit follows an intense nose of red flowers and crushed rock. Beam of perfectly defining and velvety tannins frames everything nicely, but this will be even better in 2-3 years.

Dec 26th, 2020Showing a lot of restraint for Cali at 13.4 alcohol. Elegant, violets and raspberry, relatively light with a good burn. I like Anderson Valley better than Sonoma in general.

Dec 1st, 2020Very pretty wine. Had with basic salmon and strawberries. Excellent balance and should age well for at least 3-5 more years.

Aug 14th, 2022Fab. Had with steak and baked potatoes and broccoli during Sunday supper. Wendling Block E is probably the best of the Littorai Pinots I've had.

Mar 19th, 2023This is absolutely delish. Tons of brambletown on the nose🍓🍓🍓. Bramble, strawberry , rhubarb , and clove. Beautiful Ruby color with great acid structure for aging. Lots of juicy fruit and at 13.4% this is amazing.
