Tasting notes
Fascinating notes of thyme and bay leaf to the crushed-stone and granite aromas and flavors. Resin and dried dark mushrooms. Dried flowers, too. Full-bodied with salted caramel and wet-earth undertones. Savory. Tight and reserved. Special. Drink or hold.

The 2019 Pinot Noir Gap's Crown Vineyard is drinking beautifully, with expressive aromas of red cherries, amaro and tobacco leaves. The medium-bodied palate offers a fantastic intensity-to-weight ratio; its abundant fruits are supported by fine, chocolaty tannins and seamless freshness, and it finishes long and layered. (EB)
Bright aromas of ripe red and black fruit with a lovely dried-herbaceous note. Full-bodied with fine, well-integrated tannins and a lot of elegance and lift. Such a pretty palate with fresh floral notes and juicy red fruit. Refined. Drink or hold. (JS)
