Patz & Hall
Gap's Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir
Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California, USA
High extraction on this vineyard, nice cherry and small berry notes, the nose just tells you Sonoma is home. It is still firm on the second day. Patz and Hall is really shining on these 13's.

Rich Ruby red color (gleaming) with aromas of sweet red fruit, earthy herb and spices. The 100% Pinot Noir wine was aged on French oak, (65% new) before bottling. On the palate, the wine was medium+ in weight and displayed a central focus of red fruit, sweet raspberry, cherry, cranberry and currants. The Pinot Noir showed refined velvet tannins surrounded by lively acidity and a touch of earthy minerals and spice, giving the wine a tremendous depth and balance. Elegant with great length on finish!

Way. Too. Young! Deep, dark, complex, and concentrated. If you have some of this, step away from the cellar. Do not touch for at least three years. Drinking right now? Great taste, silly waste. Don't do it.

Week of nothing but Pinot- trying to train our noses. Stemmy greens- asparagus? My fav of the evening.

Apr 23rd, 2018Whenever we see a Gaps Crown Pinot, we buy it and drink it soon after. Our favorite remains the Walt, but as these are cousins , they shouldn't mind the mention in my review. Raspberries and cassis- and basil, but that might be from my homegrown pesto tonight, not the wine.

Excellent. Nice acidity, dried leaves & herbaceousness. Great dark fruit. Went well with Turkey Day.
