Littorai Les Larmes Pinot Noir 2023, Anderson Valley

The 2023 Les Larmes bottling shows aromas of candied fruits, just ripe strawberry and raspberry with lovely savory and spice tones, hints of cola and a gravely quality. On the palate it displays beautiful balance with gentle tannins, charming mid palate richness and gentle acidity which slowly builds leaving a delightful impression of freshness. There is great persistence and concentration on the finish. Our Les Larmes and Sonoma Coast bottlings are always produced with the idea that they are best consumed relatively young. The charm of the 2023 versions is certainly on full display here but there is ample stuffing to age this wine for a few years.
