2016 BRULIAM GAP’S CROWN VINEYARD PINOT NOIR "Another terrific wine is the 2016 Pinot Noir Gap's Crown Vineyard, and it comes from a cooler site in the Sonoma Coast AVA, was completely destemmed, and spent ten months in 16% new French oak. Red and black currants, smoked earth, hints of leafy herbs, and forest floor all flow to a medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced Pinot Noir that has fine tannins and a great finish. It's a beautiful effort that has a kiss of Burgundy in its sweet California fruit." 93 Points "From the great site now within the Petaluma Gap is this stewy, meaty and concentrated wine from a great vintage, is ebullient in strawberry, plum and mint. The backbone of the red's medium-bodied richness is concentrated in savory spice and herb, with a lacing of acid-driven minerality." 92 Points
