  Drinking very well. Such a well made Pinot. Dark red fruit. Black cherry.

  Trademark Littorai austerity, but it's worth it when you get this much purity of fruit and site. So much on the nose - just call it clarity, I suppose - every individual smell is identifiable, but comes together in just the most natural expression of Pinot Noir fruit in a Northern California vineyard. Still fruit forward, though quite lean as always, but starting to take on some pleasant secondary characteristics, a hint of dried leaves, maybe even tobacco? Finish is medium length, of a piece with the rest, appropriate to how this wine came out. Really a remarkable achievement and expression of winemaking, even if it doesn't quite grab my heart.

  This was spectacular. PnP. In a tasting note almost exactly 5 years ago (12/16/17), I described my tasting of this wine "pop and pour, needs time to come together" I didn't rate it. What a difference 5 years makes. Completely together and in a prime drinking place. No sign of age, effusive nose. Light on its feet at 12.9%. Gloriously balanced on the palate, plenty of acidity to counter the very fresh tart cherry fruit, with a hint of candied orange peel. Finish goes on forever, seriously, like minutes. No hurry, will evolve in many good ways from what it's showing now.
