One of the Sonoma Coast s great vineyards, Gap s Crown was first planted to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in 2002 Located in the foothills of the Sonoma Mountain, above the Petaluma Gap, it offers a variety of soil types at elevations ranging from 300 to 800 feet The prized sections we work with are on the flank of the mountain They are two of the highest blocks on the vineyard and are planted to clones 667 and 828, in Goulding series soils, with some heavier clay interspersed with volcanic rock and lots of gravel Showing deeply fruity aromas of black cherry, plum, and cassis Notes of sandalwood, moist fresh earth, and a faint waft of ocean spray Gap s Crown Vineyard is a very long-lived wine that rewards patient cellaring
