2010 Littorai The Haven Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
13.3% alc., $75.
·
Medium reddish-purple
color in the glass. A WOW! nose with effusive aromas of plum coulis, black raspberry and
spice. Mouth-filling and mouth-coating flavors of black cherries, plums black raspberries and spice.
Can’t say enough good things about this wine: perfectly anointed tannic structure, very slinky texture,
and a big, big finish. The sauciest of the 2010 Littorai wines tasted here with the most intense finish.
Even better the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. This wine will give the
Thieriot a run for its money. The best Haven Vineyard Pinot Noir to date and the most approachable
early on.

2006 Littorai The Haven Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
The Haven Vineyard is three miles from the
Pacific Ocean just south of Jenner. Aged in 50% new French oak.
·
The aromatics feature some reduction with
dark fruits enhanced by exotic woods and a touch of char. A healthy core of black raspberry and blackberry
fruit with charming highlights of anise and chocolate. Young, rich and still quite tannic, the memorable finish
goes on and on. I would sit on this one for a few years.

2004 Littorai The Haven Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
14.4% alc., $75.
·
Darkly colored, this wine offers a very unique aromatic profile of sweet smoke, tar,
herbs, char and hay. The brooding fruit is darkly colored and there is a curious
whiskey taste. Full-bodied, plenty of woodsy notes, soft tannins, and a lingering
fruity finish.
