I was surprised how much I enjoyed this new world style Pinot from the lauded Gap’s Crown Vineyard. Bright bold nose of ripe mineral laced strawberry, raspberry, and whipped cream. The palette is candied with cola and cherry Jolly Rancher. It’s big but balanced with a hidden sting of alcohol that does hurt too bad.

Beyond expectation - big fan. Deep red fruit, full bodied Pinot. The "gap" is perfection.

Little too "expressive" of a Pinot for my taste.

Great value! Intense aromatics, juicy on the palate, nice acid uptick and decent finish.
