Note di degustazione
The 2019 Pinot Noir Roman Vineyard comes from vines planted in 1999 at 1,150 feet in elevation at the cooler north end of the Anderson Valley. It has a medium ruby color and pure scents of cranberries, cast iron, potpourri, aniseed, mushroom and burnt orange peel. The medium-bodied palate is silky and seamless, with layer after layer of amaro-laced flavors that fan across the palate and drive the persistent finish. 210 cases were made.

A lovely spicy nose of cardamom and coriander with notes of plum and ripe red cherry. Medium-bodied with a clear and delicious through-line of vanilla cream, which lightens some of the spice and ripe fruit. Tight tannins. Refreshing, dry finish. Drink or hold.
The 2019 Pinot Noir Roman Vineyard is a wine of understatement and class. Sweet red cherry, kirsch, hard candy, spice and blood orange lend striking inner sweetness. There is an exotic quality to the Roman that is so alluring. Tobacco, cedar and dried flowers add intrigue as the 2019 opens with a bit of air. Readers who want to explore the Littorai 2019s might want to start with the Roman, as it is particularly expressive in the early going, even if it does firm up a bit over time.
