Sonoma Coast
2017 Gap's Crown Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
94 Points - Jeb Dunnuck, May 2020
This vineyard sits high on a rock strewn, windswept hill directly overlooking the Petaluma Gap, the coastal mountain feature that feeds the cool Pacific air into the Russian River basin. Usually the last vineyard we pick each year, and often the most tannic of our wines, the 2017 offering has a softer, less tannic and more resolved composition. Intense aromas of black cherry, citrus peel, dark cocoa along with hints of mushroom-forest floor intermingle and intertwine. Gap’s Crown Vineyard is a very longlived wine that rewards patient cellaring for many years to come.
