Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
Not sure if time in bottle has done this any favors but definitely dig the light and elegant style, delicate strawberry with a touch of earth and herbs

Nov 5th, 2021A tasting of nine 2012 Sonoma Coast Pinots. The Littorai came in middle of the pack, maybe due to how subtle it was compared to the others.

Mar 23rd, 2021Oh my glorious crystalline beauty, replete with raspberry and pomegranate zip touched by herbs and cedar. Long, fine, and sultry, this is only just beginning its journey to greatness. @littoraiwine, I kneel in supplication.

Jun 23rd, 2020Slightly off bottle and tastes a bit old. Some dark fruit showing and herbs and savory but not as good as other bottles from Littori 2004.

Mar 21st, 2020Not as complex as a Littorai single vineyard but raspberry, sweet cherry, spice, and a white pepper. Over delivered for the entry wine. Very good.
