Wine Enthusiast
Reviewed September 2026Vibrant aromas of cranberry, pomegranate, cut flowers, and toasty spices pop from the glass on the nose of this Pinot from one of Sonoma's most prized parcels. The palate gives plush tannin and supple acidity, featuring flavors of concentrated black cherry, plum, cocoa, cinnamon, and roses across a minute long finish. Delicious now, this will age seamlessly for a decade or more. *Cellar Selection* (TRC)

Owen Bargreen
A show-stopping new Pinot Noir, the 2023 Kosta Browne ‘Gap’s Crown Vineyard’ Pinot Noir comes from this site that neighbors the Pacific Ocean. This wine was sourced from ten vineyard blocks and it comes off plush and mineral-laden on the tongue. A gorgeous melange of red and dark fruits greets you alongside salty and rocky soils and plenty of mouth-watering acidity. A joy to consume now, enjoy over the next fifteen plus years. Drink 2026-2041

Jeb Dunnuck
Medium red in color, the 2023 Pinot Noir Gap’s Crown Vineyard is understated yet charming, with cherries, leather, baking spice, and fresh earth. Medium-bodied, approachable, and elegant, with fine tannins and weightless length, it may need some time to fully express its potential but should drink beautifully over the coming decade. Drink 2026-2038.

Wine Advocate
Matured for 16 months in 46% new French oak, the 2023 Pinot Noir Gap's Crown Vineyard has intense aromas of cranberry, blackberry, mossy bark, mushrooms, tea leaves and floral perfume. The full-bodied palate features concentrated yet detailed, spicy flavors. It has a seamless frame of silky tannins and vibrant acidity and a very long, perfumed finish. (EB)
