Tasting notes
The 2013 Pinot Noir Roman Vineyard is intensely floral and exotic in this vintage. Cranberry, blood orange and sweet spices meld into dark red and purplish-toned stone fruits. I would prefer to drink the 2013 over the next few years, while the fruit remains pliant and giving.

The 2013 Pinot Noir Roman Vineyard shows quite a bit more density, power and overall structure than the One Acre. The overall sensation is of phenolic weight and intensity, while the aromatics are much less expressive today. This is another 2013 that is going to need time to fully come together, as the elements are a bit disjointed at this stage.
About the producer
Littorai stands as one of California’s most quietly influential estates, defined by organic and biodynamic farming, site transparency, and a restrained, Burgundian sensibility.
