LITTORAI “Cerise Vineyard” Pinot Noir 2014

(Anderson Valley, CA) $80

Gothic cathedrals are soaring structures, but they possess a lightness and fragility at the same time. This pinot noir from the famous producer Littorai is that way too.  The Anderson Valley, slanting inward like a pants pocket from the cold coast north of Sonoma, is home to a small but growing number of vivid, elegant pinot noirs. Littorai’s Cerise Vineyard is one of the best. With aging, it unfurls into rich, spicy madness. (12.9% abv)
