Note di degustazione
The 2015 Pinot Noir Hirsch Vineyard has not changed much since I last tasted it from barrel. Tightly wound, inward and raw, the Hirsch gives the impression of struggle and stress, which is not entirely surprising given the tiny yields at this site in 2015. It will be interesting to see if the wine comes together in bottle more fully. Today, the tannins are aggressive and overpowering. Even so, there is enough fruit density and persistence to make me cautiously optimistic. (AG) 91+

The 2013 Pinot Noir Thieriot Vineyard Estate is incisive and energetic, with notable brightness. Dried red cherry, white pepper, slate, orange zest and cranberry overtones give the Thieriot much of its unique personality. (AG)
I am not sure if the 2012 Pinot Noir The Haven Vineyard Estate will ever fully emerge, as it remains compact, tense and very much closed in on itself. Still, there is a sense of verticality and overall structure that is impossible to miss. Today I am inclined to think all the 2012 needs is time, but readers will have to be patient. The Haven is likely to always remain a powerful, incisive Pinot. (AG) 92+
