WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
The Haakon/Lenai Vineyard Pinot Noir shows elegant notes of pomegranate, cola, spicy tobacco, roasted dark cherry, blackcurrant, rhubarb, allspice, juniper berry and rose petal with fine tannins. Dry Farmed, & Organically farmed. Aged 11 Months in French Oak Barrels, 40% New.
TASTING NOTES:
This silky, ripe and perfumed red has aromas of blueberries, peaches, violets, vanilla and cinnamon stick. It’s medium-bodied, supple and delicious, with fine-grained tannins and lingering sweet-spice notes.
- James Suckling, 94 pts.
An aromatic burst of cherry liqueur is soon joined by notes of loamy soil and spicy ginger. The wine's luxurious texture and silky tannins pair nicely with concentrated blackberry, black tea, and bittersweet dark chocolate flavors. The acidity here is brisk, providing a nice balance with the wine's restrained alcohol, tannins and fruit. This pleasurable wine makes you want to settle into your chair for a relaxing conversation.
- Wine Enthusiast, 94 pts.
Handsomely structured and silky in texture, with multilayered raspberry and guava flavors that are endowed with orange peel, cardamom and other dusky spices as this gathers length and breadth toward polished tannins.
- Wine Spectator, 94 pts.
