Antonio Galloni, January 2015
Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2013
- 94 points -
"The 2013 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) is a great introduction to the Wind Gap wines. Exotic, perfumed and beautifully layered in the glass, the 2013 offers lovely depth and textural finesse in a supple, radiant style with tons of near and medium-term appeal. Hints of tangerine peel, rosewater, sweet red cherries, candy and game add considerable intrigue. I imagine much of the attention here goes to the vineyard designates, but there is something magical that can happen when fruit from complementary sites is blended. That is very much the case here."
