Leaning into the vineyard’s windswept, coastal character, this Pinot Noir opens with an aromatic lift of cranberry, boysenberry, and citrus peel layered with eucalyptus, thyme, and the earthy freshness of wet leaves. The palate is structured yet energetic, with tart red fruit, black tea, and a touch of fresh mint carried by fine, grippy tannins and bright acidity. This is the bottle to open after a long day outdoors, the perfect match to crisp air and an evening of lively conversation. Focused and savory, it finishes with a subtle cedar note and a lingering sense of place that defines Gap’s Crown.

Vineyard Notes
This picturesque vineyard has quickly risen to the top echelon of Sonoma County Vineyards and is highly sought after by winemakers all over California. First planted in 2002, Gap’s Crown includes 106 acres of Pinot Noir and 32 acres of Chardonnay. The vineyard is in the Petaluma Gap AVA in southwest Sonoma County where the climate is highly influenced by the effects of the coastal fog from the Pacific Ocean. Spanning the foothills of Sonoma Mountain, the vineyard offers a variety of soil types at elevations of 300 to 800 feet above sea level, with steep hillsides to promote natural airflow and soil drainage. Steep slopes and rocky soils create vine stress that yields rich, concentrated, structured wines.
