Arietta, Napa Valley, Variation One, Red 2001 GRASSL Littorai's 2018 Pinot Noir Savoy

Littorai's 2018 Pinot Noir Savoy Vineyard is fabulous

I would still argue that the 2005 Vatan is a few years away from really reaching its plateau of maturity and starting to drink with complete generosity

beautifully aligned mineral-rich black and red fruit towards the finish

This is a classic Mayacamas Cabernet in what was not a great vintage

Still plenty of fruit with hints of blackberry and cherry with a bit of vanilla and the start of an earthy flavor. 10 19 2023 94 Points CellarTracker Member double decanted 2 hours before drinking. Still a very big wine, with lots of coconut butter and vanilla, really sweet, a bit of leather. Beautiful fragrance and also on the palate. 3 3 2023 91 Points CellarTracker
