(93 points) Toasted spice, caramelized meats, black raspberry and licorice notes all flow from the beautifully textured, balanced, silky 2014 Pinot Noir Gap’s Crown Vineyard, which has fabulous tannin quality and length. It's beautiful now, but I can see no reason it won't evolve for a decade or more. This spent 15 months in 30% new French oak.

(91 points) This marries ripe, concentrated fruit with a touch of black pepper, spice and Parma Violets. This is large-scaled, luxurious and creamy, with firm tannins and grippy acidity on the smooth, balanced palate. Ambitious, polished, intense and complex.

(91 points) This is a hearty version of the variety for this producer, known for its oft-lighter approach. It reveals skill as well, the grapes from another prime site overseen by brand partner Bill Price. A feral shock of mushroom dominates on the nose before punchy tannins and a medium-body distract slightly in contoured texture, only barely letting in crisp flavors of orange peel and dark cherry.
