Ram's Gate Pinot Noir Gap's Crown Vineyard 2016

The 2016 Gap's Crown Pinot Noir is a gregarious wine that pops with violet, black cherry, and blackberry. Compliments of blood orange and nutmeg transition the wine well to its equally bold mouthfeel. Dark chocolate, pomegranate drives the palate into a dense and lengthy fine-tannin finish.

A big, medium to full-bodied Pinot Noir, it has bright acidity, good concentration, and plenty of mid-palate depth, yet it needs a good 2-4 years of bottle age to come together. It's mostly potential at this point.
