Littorai BA Thieriot Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

Grape: Pinot Noir
Vintage: 2014
Type: Red

This red wine comes from BA Thieriot Vineyard at 900 feet, southwest of Occidental and overlooking Bodega, on the cooler side of the hills. A ridge to the north shields the vines from the northwest wind and fog, and Littorai farms the site on a long-term lease as if it were its own. The vines, planted in 1991 and 1994 to Swann, Pommard, Dijon, Calera, and a proprietary clone, grow in Goldridge loam over sandstone and give about 1.4 tons per acre. It is a low-yielding, sheltered site in one of the coolest pockets of the coast.
