This 2013 has Stunning structure with a hint of development over summer fruit flavours. Long, long length with lively acidity and some grippy tannin. Wish we had more to see how it keeps evolving.

Masterful, per usual. Platt can be enigmatic at times, but with a little air this is ebullient, and transparent in every sense. A notably fragrant, lifted nose of sweet red fruit entwined with savory and floral complexity. The palate shows the same sweetness but also a cool elegance, a silky texture with integrated tannins, and barely perceptible oak; this is classy and light on its feet but not shy. Paired with a mushroom borscht which echoes the vinous, savory complexity of the wine, and walks the same line between delicacy and richness. A gorgeous wine which expresses balance not as a mission statement but as the simple result of gentle treatment from vineyard to bottle.

Nice subtle fruit. Amazingly delivers a huge expression of flavor, tannin and acid while remaining light on its feet.

Heading to an #oldworld style with some characteristics of good quality #burgundy Med + intensity on the nose with sweet red and black fruit. Great complexity on the nose as well as the palate with delicious spice and mineral notes. The structure was firm but refined and higher alcohol was felt. The length was good. #littorai #sonomacoast #pinotnoir #california #newworld #ctbucklinwine

Intense, smoky, earthy, and spicy, with raspberries and blackberries. Ageworthy, but drunk now.

Crushed rose petals and cranberry aromas with a bit of barnyard. Sour cherries, framboise and menthol on the palate. Finish lingers nicely with some white pepper and more sour cherries. Elegant and restrained with a nod towards Burgundy. As always, an excellent wine from Littorai.
