2020 Kosta Browne Gap's Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast California USA

Winemaker Notes
Gap’s Crown Vineyard is considered by many to be one of the
best representations of what the Petaluma Gap AVA, the
southern component of Sonoma Coast, is all about. Since we
began working with this site in 2006, its meteoric rise into the
pantheon of great Pinot Noir vineyards has been
extraordinary.

Sweeping vineyards with dramatic elevation changes and
clonal variety define this celebrated site. Each year, this wine
appeals to Burgundy fanatics and California Pinot lovers alike.
Made from five clones and fermented in an array of stainless
steel, concrete, and wood vessels, the 2020 Gap’s Crown
Vineyard Pinot is as exuberant as it is irresistible, revealing
layers of sun-kissed blackberry, cedar, and spices. Soft and
silky, its dark fruit flavors flow across the palate, underscored
by velvety tannins, finishing with a wealth of energy, drive,
and power.

Lovely depth of fruit and beauty to this, with crushed-strawberry, hazelnut and floral undertones. Full and deep. White pepper and cloves at the end. Drink or hold
