2012 Kosta Browne Gap’s Crown Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

14.5% alc., $84. · Moderately dark reddish purple color in the glass. Shy, but pleasant aromas of dark red fruits, spice and graham. Tasty mid weight core of sweet black cherry and berry fruits that fill the mouth with pleasure. The wine is quite open and giving, with modest tannins and some finishing length. About the same the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. Score: 89. Reviewed July 19, 2014
