2014 Black Kite Cellars Gap’s Crown Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

14.6% alc., 292 cases, $60. Dijon 777 clone. Aged 10 months in French oak barrels, 50% new. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. The beguiling nose offers scents of black cherry, raspberry coulis and a hint of toast and vanillin. Nicely structured with round shoulders, this wine features overreaching flavors of black cherry, black raspberry, and dark chocolate supported by bright acidity and fine-grain tannins. Easy to like, finishing with a burst of chocolate-covered cherry flavor. This wine just seems to stand out. Score: 92. Reviewed December 13, 2016
