| Description: | 96 points Wine Enthusiast. Juicy and supple, this red offers a generous helping of blue fruit matched by bright acidity. On the palate, it is lengthy, lush and textured, with accents of crushed rock, cardamom, nutmeg and white pepper. This showcases the site and vintage in a balanced, graceful wine. (vb) (3/2021) 95 points Vinous. The 2018 Pinot Noir Gap's Crown marries all the elements that make the 2018s here so appealing. Aromatically expressive, deep and also quite structured, the 2018 is a wonderfully complete Pinot that hits all the right notes. Pomegranate, red cherry, mint, mocha, spice and lavender all soar out of the glass. The Gap's is another Pinot in this range that demands patience. (ag) (9/2021) 94 points Jeb Dunnuck. The ruby/purple-hued 2018 Pinot Noir Gap's Crown Vineyard offers up a solid nose of mulled black cherries, truffly earth, underbrush, and baking spices. Beautifully textured, medium-bodied, and balanced on the palate, this is another terrific, spicy, complex, satisfying Pinot Noir to enjoy over the coming 7-8 years. (7/2021) 94 points Wine Spectator. Refined and rich tasting, with a concentrated array of dark fruit and savory spice flavors backed by vibrant acidity and fresh tannins. The lithe finish resonates with minerality and accents of tapenade and dried basil. (km) (3/2021) 91 points Connoisseurs Guide. Boasting the richness and extracted fullness that we have come to expect from this site, the Gap's Crown Pinot stands with the richest in the Three Sticks collection. It is not quite as refined as some, but it handles its evident tannins quite well, and, at the finish, its ample, very articulate fruit confidently holds center stage and assures that it will, without fail, outgrow its slightly astringent, last-minute pucker if given the two to four years of age that it patently deserves. *Two Stars* (2/2021). |
