2022 Littorai Pinot Noir Les Larmes Anderson Valley

2022 Littorai Pinot Noir Les Larmes Anderson Valley is a refined expression of one of California’s most exciting cool-climate regions. Crafted by one of the state’s benchmark producers for site-driven Pinot Noir, it offers remarkable purity, lift, and elegance with a distinctly Anderson Valley character.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, translucent ruby color that hints at its finesse rather than weight. Aromatically, it is likely to open with fragrant red berries, cherry, wild strawberry, and subtle floral notes, layered with tea leaf, spice, and a touch of forest floor. The palate is expected to be silky and precise, with fresh acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a vivid red-fruited core. The style is graceful and nuanced, with enough structure to reward short- to medium-term cellaring, while remaining highly drinkable in its youth.

Production
Sourced from Anderson Valley, a cool, maritime-influenced region in California known for producing vibrant, balanced Pinot Noir. Littorai is known for working with carefully selected vineyards and for a restrained, thoughtful approach in the cellar, aiming to preserve site expression and freshness. The exact vineyard and vinification details are not provided here, so more specific production information is unavailable.

Food & Serving
This Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roast chicken, duck, salmon, mushroom dishes, and lighter preparations of pork or veal. Serve slightly chilled, ideally around 14–16°C, and consider a brief decant if opening young to help the aromatics unfold.

Producer
Littorai is one of California’s most respected Pinot Noir producers, widely recognized for its commitment to terroir-driven wines and elegant, Burgundian-inspired style. Founded by Ted Lemon, the winery has helped define the modern benchmark for cool-climate Pinot Noir in California and is highly regarded for its consistency and finesse.
