Littorai, Anderson Valley, Cerise Vineyard, Pinot Noir 2016
Received in Original Carton
Cerise is a beautiful hillside vineyard situated between 800 - 1,100’ elevation on a very steep and rocky south-facing slope in the northeast range of mountains above the town of Boonville. While this is located at the warmer end of the Anderson Valley, its elevation and exposure place it directly in the fog layer, resulting in great diurnal swings. Coupled with poor top soils, this steep exposition allows for us to harvest fruit with a high skin-to-juice ratio from the struggling vines. The soils vary within the three cascading hills that make up Littorai’s parcels, allowing for complex and well-structured wines. Our parcel of Cerise Vineyard was planted expressly for Littorai in 1998. This site is farmed using organic materials and biodynamic methods, not certified.
This has plenty of personality and delivers an athletic impression with velvety, black cherries at the edge with a fine-grained, assertive but supple tannin core. Excellent wine. 10/2018
From just down the hill from the One Acre vineyard (which is at the top of the hill), the 2016 Pinot Noir Cerise Vineyard is nevertheless a dramatically different wine. Much straighter, focused, and firm, with a Côte de Nuits like feel in its raspberry, cranberry, violets, and rock mineral aromas and flavors, it hits the palate with beautiful acidity, medium body, and fine, polished tannin. 95+ 06/2018
