Oh 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.

Always a treat - even the regional bottlings show grace, elegance and complexity!

Slightly 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.

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

Red roses, cherry. Very pretty

Really lovely vintage

Austere boysenberry with an almost briny salinity. Delicious

Beautiful balance

Just got this today. It’s everything I love about how Littorai makes the Sonoma Coast Pinot. Approachable now, will improve with time.
