2023 vintage. The least imposing Gap Crown’s Vineyard Pinot I’ve ever had. If you like your California Pinots on the lighter side, this is for you. 3.11.26. — 19 hours ago

2020 vintage. Medium heavy body. Medium throttled power paired with some chunkiness. Slightly rustic. Totally delicious. 3.11.26. — 21 hours ago

2022 vintage. The curious case of the pinot noir where the mid-palate remarkably remained as if on command. Bright as a bell. Would not transition to the finish. Just stood there, in the middle of the tongue, blocking the traffic. Curious enough to buy two cases at $35 a bottle. 3.11.26. — 19 hours ago

2022 vintage. Fave of the three new 2022 red releases-Côte A Côte, Optimus Estate Estate Reserve-and also the most affordable. 3.11.26. — 21 hours ago

2023 vintage. $35 a bottle on 2 cases. Smooth with a bit of oak influence afoot. Missing some guts and/or a singular calling card but a large party crowd pleaser. Will likely pass but in the notes just in case the need arises. 3.11.26. — 21 hours ago

9.1

2023 vintage. Nicely made and definitely not heavy-handed. Too light to register on most palate firewalls and not light enough to deploy the cyber berets. Bit of a different style. 3.11.26. — 19 hours ago

Mysterious and delicious but pricey at $70+ a bottle. Now if this were $50-$55, it would be a no-brainer for SLD juice. Will probably be gone before any kind of deal gets offered as I don’t think there’s much of this available. 3.11.26. — 21 hours ago
