Well-made N Coast 2010s are drinking well right now, and this is no exception. More mineral driven than most Litorais.

I said goddamn - fantastic bottle with a decent amount of age to start figuring out what it is.

Shared this bottle with our neighbors. Earthy, elegant, foraged mushrooms, rose petals. Mr. Lemmon really is a rockstar in the wine world. Needed some air but then it was brilliant.

A little more focused on fruit than is often the case with Littorai, but there are lots of nice, subtle savory notes. Rhubarb and black cherry predominate in the nose, but there's a noticeable subtext of sage, cedar chest and a little tar to balance things out. Fruit is even more prominent on the palate, with the black cherry notes leading the way. Well-rounded tannin and moderate acidity provide a silky feel and pleasing zest in the finish.

Lovely. Smells like dried apricots. Initial flavor very fruity, but fairly balanced with dried apricots coming in again at end.
