Juicy cherry and pomegranate aromas dominate the nose of this Pinot, while the palate sings with darker black cherry, Darjeeling, cinnamon and licorice flavors. Neatly balanced tannin and acidity dance for a minute-plus on the finish, with echoes of balsamic, cedar and rose petals.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Gap's Crown Vineyard comes across as pretty understated in this vintage. Dark blue/purplish fruit, licorice, new leather and sweet spice notes all meld together in the glass. The 2022 is undeniably attractive, even if it doesn't have the textural breadth or resonance of the very best vintages.

Sitting high in the Petaluma Gap, Gap’s Crown is typically the last vineyard harvested and brings the most structure to the lineup. Intense afternoon winds thicken grape skins, contributing both tannin and flavour. The 2022 bottling is a dark-fruited, generous expression of Pinot Noir, with notes of cedar, spice, and a hint of mocha. It’s plush yet balanced, with smooth tannins that carry its weight with ease. 500 cases produced.
