2013 Black Kite Cellars Gap’s Crown Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

14.8% alc., pH 3.60, TA 0.58, 273 cases, $60. Dijon 777 clone. Aged 11 months in French oak barrels, 33% new. · Moderately light reddish purple color in the glass. I loved the nose which extended aromas of black cherry, dark red raspberry, redwood and anise. An appealing wine with impeccably balanced t n’ a, a creamy mouthfeel, and a noticeable top note of oak. Score: 91. Reviewed December 12, 2015
