Winemaking Notes

The 2023 Lytton Annapolis Pinot Noir opens with classic West Sonoma Coast allure: hints of Christmas spice, orange peel, and delicate violets rise from the glass. On the palate, vibrant flavors of Bing cherry and sassafras are balanced by bright acidity and a supple, mouth-coating texture. Lush tannins carry the wine to a long, graceful finish, leaving a lasting impression of energy and elegance.

“The 2023 Pinot Noir Lytton Annapolis Vineyard is fabulous. Ripe, silky tannins wrap around a core of red cherry fruit, blood orange, hard candy, kirsch, spice and dried flowers. All of this fruit is destemmed. Readers will find a wine of extraordinary and vivid beauty that captures the essence of the West Sonoma Coast. Superb.”
