Allen Meadows of Burghound Reviews Fulcrum 2009 Gap's Crown Pinot

Allen Meadows is the worlds foremost authority on Burgundy and he is one of the most respected reviewers of Pinot Noir from California and Oregon as well.  He named the Fulcrum 2009 Gap's Crown Pinot Noir to his 71 California Pinot Selections List which is always an honor.

Here is what he said:

An elegant, airy and restrained nose of black cherry, cassis and subtle spice notes gives way to lush, round and utterly delicious middle weight flavors that possess excellent complexity on the textured and extract-rich finish that is dusty, mouth coating and impressively persistent. This moderately structured effort should age beautifully and while it will be necessary to have some patience, I found this to be very promising.  91 points.
