2022 Littorai Pinot Noir One Acre

The Littorai 2022 Pinot Noir One Acre is a rare and extremely refined wine, sourced from a tiny vineyard planted in 2005. This Pinot Noir represents a beautiful balance between subtlety and depth, with a distinct spicy and earthy character that sets it apart from other wines in the Littorai portfolio. On the nose, this Pinot Noir offers a complex and savory aromatic experience with notes of dried cherries, tobacco leaf, and aniseed, combined with floral nuances of potpourri and dried rose petals. Additionally, subtle earthy notes are present, reminiscent of forest floor and wet stones, underscoring the terroir-driven character of the wine. The medium-bodied structure of this wine is supported by a layered and elegant flavor development. The subtle notes of black tea and delicate floral accents give the wine an almost ethereal finesse. The structure is characterized by chalky tannins that give the wine a subtle grip, while firm acidity guards the freshness. All this leads to a long, perfumed finish, in which the floral and spicy notes linger for a long time. The Sonoma Coast, where the One Acre Vineyard is located, is known for its cool maritime influences and misty mornings, ensuring a slow and even ripening of the grapes.
