2011 Sojourn "Gap's Crown Vineyard" Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

Gap's Crown sits on the slopes of Sonoma Mountain at elevations between 300 and 800 feet, a prime target for the natural "air conditioning" breeze and fog that come in off the ocean, and through the Petaluma Gap, nearly every afternoon. From the Pinot Report: "95 points. Deep ruby color; very complex, deep herb and cherry aromas; complex and very deep, mouthfilling cherry flavors with rich, asian spice notes and sweet oak; great structure and balance; long finish. Incredibly deep and layered; delicious now but will definitely reward some age."
