Tasting notes
The 2007 Pinot Noir Cerise Vineyard is the freshest of the three 2007 Littorai Pinots I tasted recently. I suppose the 2017 is perhaps a bit compact, but in exchange there is lovely focus and energy to the red cherry, mint, game and rose petal notes. Overall, the 2017 is quite expressive today, but I wouldn't push my luck on keeping it for too much longer.

Quite evolved nose and really fresh palate. Sucky-stoney finish. Appetising. (JR)
Medium red. Wilder, slightly reduced aromas of shoe polish, smoke, flint and herbs. Sweet and supple on entry, then spicy and backward in the middle, with a juicy peppery quality and a strong impression of dry extract. This very dry, tactile wine�s rising finish suggests it will reward aging.
About the producer
Littorai stands as one of California’s most quietly influential estates, defined by organic and biodynamic farming, site transparency, and a restrained, Burgundian sensibility.
