The 2018 Pinot Noir Gap's Crown marries all the elements that make the 2018s here so appealing. Aromatically expressive, deep and also quite structured, the 2018 is a wonderfully complete Pinot that hits all the right notes. Pomegranate, red cherry, mint, mocha, spice and lavender all soar out of the glass. The Gap's is another Pinot in this range that demands patience. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2021)

More fruit forward than the others, but great balance. Would do well aged.

Beautiful full bodied Pinot! Bacon fat, rich dark fruits and cigar box.
