Reticent and brooding, this demands patience to unlock its considerable depth. Dark cherry mingles with wild herbs and violet, while earthy tobacco notes add gravitas. The structure is there. Firm tannins and good concentration. But everything feels locked up at this stage. Give it a few years to integrate and show its true colors.

Littorai

Littorai is Ted Lemon's Sonoma Coast project, built around single-vineyard Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from cool, windswept sites farmed organically and biodynamically. The wines are detailed, restrained, and among California's most Burgundian in spirit.
