The nose opens with lifted aromas of blueberries, raspberry jam, blood orange, black tea, licorice, violets, and a subtle touch of vanilla from the oak.\n\nOn the palate, it is full-bodied in an elegant, seamless style, with ripe fruit at the core and fresh tannins providing balance and structure. The wine has a polished, layered feel and a long, composed finish. With its concentration and firm frame, it should also reward careful cellaring over the next several years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGap’s Crown Vineyard sits in the cooler southern part of Sonoma Coast, where maritime influence and a long growing season help preserve freshness while allowing Pinot Noir to develop full flavor and aromatic complexity. Winemaker Julien Howsepian includes around 10% whole clusters in fermentation, and the juice is primarily fermented in open-top stainless steel tanks. The wine is then matured for 15 months in French oak barrels, with 43% new oak contributing subtle spice and texture without overpowering the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roast duck, wild mushroom risotto, herb-crusted lamb, seared salmon, or dishes featuring earthy root vegetables and truffle.
