Gap's Crown Vineyard is named after the weather phenomenon known as the Petaluma Wind Gap. The vineyard looks west to low-lying valleys that continue to the Pacific Ocean. Daily, these valleys fill with coastal fog, slowing the ripening process, creating a unique balance of rich flavors, textures and minerality.

Tasting notes
Lemon cheesecake, floral, and spiced apple cider aromas escape from the glass at the first swirl. Higher tones of tropical fruit and citrus rinds become prominent as the wine opens up. The wine is bright and refreshing on the entry, but the lush texture and minerality on the finish is the hallmark of this wine. Apricot and blood orange flavors give way to a crisp, clean finish of pear and toasted pine nuts.Winemaker Brandon Lapides
