Note di degustazione
From a well-known site located in the Petaluma Gap region of the Sonoma Coast, the 2017 Pinot Noir Gap’s Crown Vineyard was mostly destemmed (there are 28% whole clusters) and brought up in 51% new oak. It’s another classy, impeccably made effort that has a great perfume of black raspberries and dark berry fruits as well as medium body, bright yet integrated acidity, fine tannins, and building complexity in its darker, earthy, spicy aromas and flavors. It too has a decade of prime drinking ahead of it.

The 2017 Pinot Noir Gap's Crown Vineyard was made with 28% whole cluster and aged 15 months in 51% new French oak. Pale ruby in color, the aromas take coaxing, but with time, scents of crushed red and black cherries, smoked cranberries and rhubarb arrive, accented by cinnamon, dried leaves, tobacco, mushroom and earth with spices and bitters in the undercurrent. The palate is medium-bodied with satisfying depth of flavor, a gentle frame and well-woven freshness on the long finish. 725 cases produced.
Impressive complexity here. Sappy, ripe dark cherries take center stage, surrounded by earthy and spicy elements and leafy nuances, too. The palate has a smooth build of ripe red-cherry flesh and delivers a succulent, plush and juicy finish. Stylish and refined pinot here. Drink or hold.
