" One of my favorites in the lineup was the 2015 Pinot Noir The Haven Vineyard, which comes from the Sonoma Coast. It has plenty of oomph and is a powerful wine, with classic black raspberry and strawberry fruits, spice, and spring flower aromas and flavors. Deep, concentrated, yet still in the house style with its finesse and elegance, I finished my note with “Love it.” This is another estate making a distinctly vibrant, fresh style of wine that’s going to appeal to the Burgundy lovers out there. It’s an incredibly educational tasting going through all these different single vineyards from Ted Lemon and these are interesting, singular wines. As a whole, the 2015s shows slightly more oomph compared to the 2016s, yet both vintages have vibrant acidity and balanced profiles. As expected, quantities are slightly up in 2016."
