The 2010 Gap’s Crown Vineyard Pinot noir will not disappoint fans of its bold, concentrated style and lingering finish. Dark cherry aromas and sweet oak express themselves first, leading to hints of baking spice, chocolate, and rosemary. This is a complex wine that makes a great first impression, with a sweet entry, big lush textures and a nice frame.
