Gap's Crown Vineyard benefits from the confluence of Sonoma Mountain, Crane Canyon, and a series of hills to its northwest that create a fog pocket. The vineyard enjoys a lengthier ripening season due to this trapped fog, resulting in low yields and longer hangtime.
Despite its initial reticence, there's depth, body, and complexity for those with patience... hits its stride at 3 hours with a rusty black cherry, walnut, fennel, and underbrush, all wrapped in warm, but discreet oak.

Everything thing you want from a Sonoma coast Pinot Noir, with a little dose of magic. This thing is so smooth, you can feel the curved structure. So fantastic

Very nice showing. With valley floor fruit having a little extra hang time it has some big dark fruit and licorice hints. A bigger Pinot with nice acidity and tannins for a Pinot.
