2021 WALT Gap's Crown Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir - Gap's Crown
Critic Review
"Subtle aromas of black cherry, fresh tea leaf and mushroom provide a softer introduction to a wine that is explosively powerful on the palate, with saturated flavors of berry compote, cherry lollipop, orange blossom and fried shiitake mushroom. The finish is long and acid driven, with a lovely balance of black tea emerging over time."
Gap’s Crown Vineyard
Perched on a hillside in the direct path of steady winds
from the Pacific Ocean.
Petaluma Gap
A break in the coastal range at Bodega Bay that lets in
fog and cool air
Sonoma Coast Appellation
Heavy fog and strong winds tempered by bright
afternoon sunshine.
The 2021 vintage of Gap's Crown delivers fresh, pure aromas of pomegranate, cherry, and lifted floral notes. Black cherry and mulberry flavors combine with dark tea and damp earth on the palate. Juicy, open-knit tannin is underscored by serious depth and a racy mineral edge through the finish.
