Littorai Pinot Noir Cerise Vineyard Anderson Valley 2022 750ml

Littorai was founded in 1993 by Ted Lemon, who trained in Burgundy and was among the first Americans to run a domaine there. From the winery's biodynamically farmed home near Sebastopol, Lemon crafts site-specific Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from cool coastal vineyards. Cerise Vineyard sits on steep hillsides in Mendocino County's Anderson Valley, where Pacific fog and wide day-to-night temperature swings preserve acidity. The 2022 vintage, interrupted by a September heat spike, rewarded careful growers with ripe yet fresh wines. Expect red cherry, raspberry, forest floor and spice with fine-grained tannins and a long, savory finish. Enjoy now through the mid-2030s.
