2020 Kosta Browne 'Gap's Crown' Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast

Winemaker Notes: Gap's Crown is considered by many to be one of the best representations of what the Petaluma Gap AVA, which spans an area of more than 200,000 acres, 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. From its pleasing tension to its generous flavors of blueberry, baking spices and crème fraîche, this is a classic Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir with playful acidity and fresh, balanced richness.

TASTING NOTES
NOSE Busting notes of blueberry, McIntosh apple, savory pie crust,
and crème fraîche.
MOUTH Appealing, with a dynamic palate, balanced by texture and
an enjoyable tension of acid and tannins.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "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."


Wine & Spirits - "Lovely coastal cool infuses everything about this wine. Its berry scent and black-cherry flavors have a cool and crunchy forest fruit character without being excessively green. Picked at the right moment of ripeness, the fruit lasts with a rose fragrance, open and airy."
