Radiant and expressive in the glass, the new Gap’s Crown Pinot Noir opens with lifted aromas of vivid red berries layered with orange peel, crushed rose petals, and a touch of juniper and cinnamon spice. The palate is bright and energetic, with pure wild strawberry, raspberry, and apple skin in the foreground and subtle notes of fig and plum just behind. Immediately charming and crowd-pleasing, with impressive balance and vibrancy. The lingering, perfumed finish keeps you coming back for another sip. Hits a beautiful strike zone between accessibility and sophistication.
