2005 Littorai Roman Vineyard Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., 36 cases, $65. A 1.87 acre
vineyard exclusive to Littorai.
·
Very dark reddish-purple in color. The nose features deep, dark, super
ripe berries, oak shavings, truffle and pine sap. In the mouth there are lovely oak-kissed dark fruits and herbs. Slightly jammy with a suave texture and fine-grained tannins on the finish. Decent but not extraordinary.

2005 Littorai Roman Vineyard Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., 36 cases, $65. This vineyard,
owned by Al and Lynn Roman, is located just above Esterlina Vineyard high up Holmes Ranch Road. Only
1.87 acres in size, it sits on a knoll facing due south with full sun exposure. The vineyard has been controlled
and organically farmed since the start by Littorai and the fruit is exclusively Littorai’s.
·
Complex aromatic profile
of black cherries, spice, grass and smoke. Woodsy cherries, cardamon and tea with a pleasingly soft texture,
fine ripe tannins and a dry finish. This wine has a certain lightness, airiness if you will, making it enticingly
elegant.
