2011 Littorai Hirsch Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

13.2% alc., Magnum. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. Aromas of dark wild cherry sprinkled with herbs and flowers. The middleweight flavors of red cherry and strawberry are annotated with spice, thyme and other dried herbs and a dusting of oak. The tannins have completely faded and there is lip-smacking acidity at the end. Complex and savory rather than directly fruity. Score: 92. Reviewed July 29, 2021
