Tasting notes
The exceptional, dark ruby-colored 1999 Pinot Noir One Acre Vineyard is a high-toned, textured, delicious Pinot with an intricate perfume of black cherries, mineral, flowers, and a touch of blackberries. Once past the perfumed aromatics, the wine reveals good sweetness on the attack, medium body, and a beautiful pure, delicate, intense personality. It should drink well for 7-8 years. Virtually all of Littorai's wines, save those sold at restaurants, are purchased via a mailing list. (Release date, fall 2001) Tel. (707) 963-4762; fax (707) 963-7332

Medium red. Black cherry, raspberry, smoke and earth on the nose. Tangy, spicy flavors of raspberry and cinnamon. Lovely subtle sweetness and suave texture. There more middle here than in the Savoy wine, and good sneaky length. Tannins are ripe and fine.
