Patz & Hall
Gap's Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir

A super exciting, multi-dimensional wine! Deep ruby, garnet color; exotic black fruit aroma, with a complementary nudge of oak, berry-scented; medium bodied, firm and well built on the palate; dry, medium acidity, well balanced; complex flavors of red and black fruits, lots of flavor interest; medium finish. One of the great Pinot Noirs in the state, needs more time to gain further complexities. (Best Served: 2019-2027) [Composition: 100% Pinot Noir] [Winemaking Highlights: Multi-yeast fermentations (wild & cultured), 15% whole clusters, 100% malo-lactic fermentation in barrel; 65% new Burgundian French oak barrels; bottled without fining or filtration] [Production: 684 cases] [James Hall, Winemaker]

Deep ruby red color, with spreading sweet berry aromas top-noted by spice. The body is spritely, like fresh-squeezed ruby grapefruit muddled with pomegranate, but with a finishing hit of clove and nutmeg and a supple, amber texture. The wood here is obvious, but with time will integrate and add dimension to the fresh and lively fruit. Cellar it for a few years. 14.2% abv | $70 (sample)
