2017 Sojourn Cellars Gap's Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast

94 Points    Wine Advocate

The 2017 Pinot Noir Gap's Crown Vineyard was made with 10% whole cluster and aged in 50% new French oak. Pale to medium ruby, the nose is slow to unfurl to scents of smoked cranberries, baked rhubarb, pure raspberry and strawberry preserves, candied violets and blackberry pie with spicy and earthy touches. The palate is medium-bodied, silky and intense, with unfurling, spiced flavor layers. It has a fine, grainy frame and seamless freshness, finishing long and layered. (EB)   Review Date: 12/2019
