Tasting Notes
Presenting notes of raspberry, pomegranate, and dried strawberries, this offering is a classic expression of wines from the Petaluma Gap. Rustic hints of a cool, redwood forest lend an air of intrigue and complexity. Exceptionally well-integrated tannins provide structure and counterpoint to the lush fruit impression, contributing to a silky, lingering finish.
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. Originally a part of the southern section of the
Sonoma Coast AVA, the vineyard is now a part of the newly created 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. Our Gap’s Crown Pinot Noir is a blend of clones 777 and 667.
