Tasting Notes

Hailing from the legendary Gap's Crown Vineyard in Sonoma's famed Petaluma Gap, this wine emits expressive hints of juicy pomegranate, red cherry, freshly-picked strawberry, and orange peel within an expansive, yet delicate fruit core. Notes of green tea, forest floor, pine cone, and nori emerge to provide clean natural charms. A dusting of cardamom, cinnamon, and clove contribute a range of gorgeously lifted spices. After an incredibly layered and nuanced presentation, the wine finishes with a silky and downright irresistible mouthfeel.

Pairing

Go traditional with herb-roasted salmon or roasted chicken. Branch out with Peking duck, lemongrass beef, wild mushroom pho, or seared ahi with a sesame crust.

Vineyard Notes
The Gaps Crown Vineyard is a rocky low-yielding hillside site at around 800 ft of elevation. It sees the classic Petaluma Gap winds that help keep things cool and slow ripening. The Pinot Noir came in on September 27th and is two different clones, 828 and 114.
Production Notes
We fermented 100% whole cluster in open top fermenters with twice a day punch downs. It spent 29 days on skins before being pressed to barrel. It saw 35% new French oak. Left on fine lees and only racked before bottling. It was bottled the following October so it saw almost exactly 12 months in barrel from the day it was pressed.
Food Pairing Notes
Go traditional with herb-roasted salmon or roasted chicken. Branch out with Peking duck, lemongrass beef, wild mushroom pho, or seared ahi with a sesame crust.
