Tasting notes
The 2015 Pinot Noir Gap's Crown offers a more vibrant, crisp, tight style. Black cherries, currants, graphite, crushed rocks, and hints of charcoal all emerge from the glass. Deep, nicely concentrated, with integrated acidity, it has building tannin and notable structure as well as sensational purity of fruit. Give bottles a year and enjoy over the following decade.

Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2015 Pinot Noir Gap's Crown Vineyard opens with notes of garrigue, forest floor and lavender over a core of warm cranberries and red currants. The concentrated, medium to full-bodied palate has a firm backbone of finely grained tannins supporting layers of red fruits and earth-inspired flavors, while the long mineral-laced finish offers great tension.
