Three Sticks
Gap's Crown Vineyard Chardonnay
Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California, USA
Really enjoyed this. Much more in the white burg style. Steely, piercing and focused. I’d live to take another look at these 5 years from now. I bet this will continue to improve.

Dec 23rd, 2024This didn’t suck at all. Punchy and refined with notes of guava and lychee. Gaps Crown vineyard produces stellar fruit.

Dec 12th, 2024Hands down the best white wine I’ve ever had from California, top three ever. Like a French Savigny le Beune with an extra dimension.

We had the 2018 Vintage on 4/3-4/24. The taste profile changed to more lemon and pineapple. Some oak and vanilla for sure. Full bodied. What did not change is the rating of being an average Chardonnay. This is fine, there are many better offerings

Apr 5th, 2024We had the 2018 Vintage on 5/26-27/22. A full bodied Chardonnay that is both sweet, tart, but not acidic. Apricot, melon, lemon and vanilla on the palate. Not bad, there are just better.

Not too buttery and oakey - great depth and tannins

Light, crisp wine. Pear, citrus, floral notes. A great way to say goodby to summer and usher in fall.
