Bruliam 2012 Gap’s Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)

Country: US / Gap’s Crown Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Bruliam / Sonoma Coast

This is one tight young Pinot Noir. You take the first sip, and the acidity hits you, then the tannins, and finally the fruit, which is ripe and vast in raspberries and strawberries. Oak adds smoky caramel to this parfait. Give it until 2018 or 2019, when it should hit its peak.
