Gap's Crown is considered by many to be one of the best representations of what the Petaluma Gap AVA is all about. Each year this wine appeals to Burgundy fanatics and California Pinot lovers alike. An appealing mouth feel with a dynamic palate, balanced by texture and an enjoyable tension of acid and tannins. Busting notes of blueberry, McIntosh apple, savory pie crust, and crème fraiche. 

From its pleasing tension to its generous flavors of blueberry, baking spices and crème fraiche, this is a classic Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir with playful acidity and fresh, balanced richness. 

43% new French oak for 16 months / 15% concrete for 3 months
