The Haven Vineyard Pinot Noir

So good! 😊 American Pinot at its best.

Mid crimson in colour. A caramel oaky note to begin with - still fairly closed nose at 10 years. Needed time in decanter. On the palate some strawberry jammy notes together with savoury stemmy nuances. Definitely a good example of a new world Pinot Noir I feel, in all respects. Great intensity on the medium bodied palate finishing with fluid, supple tannins. Such an easy wine to drink with a few more cellaring years if one desired.

Back from Self Excile! This is CA Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir!!!

Long, Cherry, complex, balanced

Really@wonderful Vibrant but covered fruit. Good balance with earth. I think Littorai May be at the top of Sonoma pinots. Always great balance.

Compact fruit driven nose initially, with oak in balance. Latent power - still needing time to totally unfurl its charms. More new world than Burgundian initially but that changed after a couple of hours in the decanter. A lovely earthy perfume emanating after 3 hours. This wine best to drink after at least 10 years of cellaring with a lengthy decant. I will drink my last one in 3 plus years.

Powerful Pinot defined by ripe fruit and oak. Dark cherry, blackberry, plum, lavender, vanilla and toast. Amazingly structured and intense finish. Still looks immensely youthful, in stasis.

My favorite vineyard @Littorai Wines @Rachel Dixon

Juicy!
