2018 Fulcrum Gap’s Crown Vineyard Petaluma Gap Pinot Noir

14.3% alc., 214 cases, $70. Clones “faux 828” and 667. Aged 11 months in French oak barrels, 40% new. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. · Moderately dark garnet color in the glass. A relatively ripe, boisterous and full-bodied wine that makes a big impression. The aromas and flavors of darker berry fruits grab attention, but the sappy fruit is not summatré. The fruit cloaks the supportive tannins so the mouthfeel is sleek and velvety. A typical Gap’s Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir. Score: 93. Reviewed May 25, 2020
