Patz & Hall Gaps Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

Description

One of the Sonoma Coast’s great emerging vineyards, Gap’s Crown was first planted to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in 2002. Located in the foothills of the Sonoma Mountain, high above the Petaluma Gap, it offers a variety of soil types at elevations ranging from 300 to 800 feet above sea level. The two sections we work with feature Goulding series soils, with some heavier clay on the flank of the mountain. Interspersed with gravel and volcanic rocks, these soils are extremely well-drained, and coupled with the site’s wind and fog, help to ensure low yields. The vineyard’s cool conditions make Gap’s Crown one of the last vineyards we harvest each vintage.
This is an impressive and immediately appealing wine displaying lush layers of pure red fruit, velvety tannins and a long palate-coating finish. Aromas of cranberry, pomegranate and plum flow from the glass, underscored by enticing notes of mahogany, fresh-tilled earth, mint and exotic spices. A classic expression of Gap’s Crown!
Originally planted by viticultural icon William Hill, today Gap’s Crown is owned by Bill Price. Bill has been a significant figure in the California wine industry since he purchased Beringer Wine Estates in 1996. After selling Beringer, Bill became a partner in Kistler, and today, through his company Vincraft, he is a partner in Kosta Browne, Gary Farrell, Price Chanin and Durell Vineyard. In 2013, Bill purchased Gap’s Crown, which has become the crown jewel of his vineyard portfolio.
Fruit from Gap’s Crown’s has become a key part of our Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. We bottled our first Gap’s Crown vineyard-designate wine in 2007.
