Sweet and sour cherries, elegant nose, rose petals, medium bodied, high acid and glorious tannins. Nice, burgundian

Very young but showing so much promise. The pivot vineyard is Littorai’s estate vineyard and always delivers medium acidity and great red fruits.

Wonderfully full bodied and lush Pinot-you’d never know it was 10 years old. Very drinkable now, notes of raspberry amd black fruit with a long lingering finish. I get pine forest notes on this, which I quite like.

Wine was showing amazingly, great fruit, medium acidity, slight tannins. Drink up or let sit for a while. Such a great example of American pinot noir.

Disappointing with off flavors. Nothing ever came together. Might try on day two but I am not sure these flavors and scents will blow off.

Well-made N Coast 2010s are drinking well right now, and this is no exception. More mineral driven than most Litorais.

Beautiful fruit and spice nuances in this excellent medium bodied Pinot by Ted Lemon. One of the best I've had in quite a while. I love the wines from Littorai.

Such nice freshness and vibrancy. Aromatics like perfume.

Light bodied, bright red fruit. Nice depth. Nicely aromatic. Lovely.
