The 2015 Pinot Noir The Haven Vineyard Estate is dark, plush and inviting. Black cherry and plum fruit give the wine its dark, somewhat somber personality, but it is the wine's overall balance that stands out. Floral and savory overtones add nuance throughout. All the elements meld together effortlessly in a wine that captures the natural intensity of the year and yet remains quite refined. My impression is that the Haven is holding quite a bit back, as it is both less expressive than it was from barrel and also not quite as showy as some of the other wines in the range.
