Indulge in the allure of Pinot perfection with El Pino Club's 2021 High Haven Pinot Noir, a wine that beckons to the hearts of Pinot fanatics and connoisseurs alike. Crafted with precision and passion, this wine is an ode to the lands and hands that nurture it, a symphony of flavors that celebrates the legendary Pinot varietal.
High Haven Pinot Noir encapsulates the essence of California's highest and coolest growing region, the enchanting Anderson Valley. Nestled in the shadows of towering redwoods, this rustic enclave gives birth to world-class Pinot that marries concentrated fruit with exquisite acidity, delivering a sensory journey like no other.
The 2021 vintage of High Haven tells a story of resilience and character. Mendocino County faced drought conditions, with most of the year's precipitation arriving in late 2020 and early 2021. Despite the challenges, the grapes thrived, benefiting from cooler spring temperatures and abundant sunshine during the summer. The result? Grapes of exceptional quality, hand-harvested from the Middleridge Ranch at an elevation of 1,100 feet on September 21-22, 2021.
Upon uncorking this bottle, your senses will be enveloped in a symphony of aromas. High Haven opens with notes of black Mission figs, raspberry bramble, fresh-tapped Maple tree sap, and delicate vanilla bean accents. This medium-bodied wine dances on the palate, delivering harmonious flavors of rose hips, dried cranberries, hints of cola, and a subtle graham cracker finish. The lively acidity and seamlessly integrated tannins lead to a structured and satisfying finale.
El Pino Club's commitment to excellence shines through in the meticulous crafting of this Pinot Noir. Made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, including Clones 777 and Swan, it spent a glorious 10 months aging in 38% new French oak barrels from renowned cooperages like Tremeaux, Rousseau, and Francois Freres. The result is a wine with a tantalizing TA of 5.57 g/L, a pH of 3.65, and an alcohol content of 14.5%.
Intriguing, elegant, and with an undeniable charm, El Pino Club's 2021 High Haven Pinot Noir is the epitome of Pinot perfection. With each sip, you'll be transported to the rolling hills of Anderson Valley, where the magic of Pinot grapes meets the hands of passionate winemakers. Indulge in the experience, savor the memories, and let this wine become a treasured addition to your collection. Elevate your wine journey with El Pino Club's High Haven Pinot Noir, where each bottle is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the winemaking craft.

91 POINTS - "Find bright aromas and flavors of cranberry, raspberry and strawberry along with earthy notes of river-rock minerality, roses, violets, hints of fennel and tarragon and just a touch of wood. Elevated fruit concentration yields pleasantly plush tannic texture along with an energetic acidity that points to a long, lingering finish." - Wine Enthusiast
