Gap's Crown Vineyard is located in the heart of the Petaluma Gap area of the Sonoma Coast Appellation. Gentle slopes and rocky soils produce wines of great depth and richness.
The 2022 vintage of Gap’s Crown offers fresh, pure aromas of raspberry and ripe red cherry, accented with a note of wet stone. The deeply fruited and juicy palate is underscored with taught tannins that add a serious focus which will age beautifully with time. The wine finishes with a long, racy, mineral edge.

Vintage Notes | The 2022 vintage wines are immediately appealing, showing fruit-forward aromatics, breadth, and sophistication. Even in the third year of drought, good vine growth was a pleasant surprise. Heavy rains started at the end of November, continued into early December, dried down, and arrived again near bud break, resaturating the soils. Frost in March contributed to a lighter crop. By July the season was tracking on the warmish side indicating an earlier harvest. Temperate weather was interrupted by a big heat wave in early September, which propelled earlier ripening sites into a fast-paced harvest window. |
