Tasting notes

The 2024 Gap’s Crown Pinot Noir opens with pure, lifted aromas of red cherry, tangy red plum, and dusty earth, accented by toasted wood spice. Deeply fruited yet beautifully focused, the palate is underscored by tightly wound tannins and vibrant acidity that lend precision and drive. The finish is long and racy, marked by a sweet-fruited core framed by structure.

Vintage Notes

The 2024 vintage began with much-needed winter rainfall that revitalized the soil and set the stage for healthy vine growth and a balanced crop. Summer was marked by mostly moderate temperatures, with a brief burst of warmth around Labor Day, when well-developed canopies shielded the fruit from excess heat. As harvest approached, mild daytime temperatures and cool nights arrived, allowing for steady ripening into September. The resulting wines showcase beautiful color and depth, with precise acidity, rich texture, and concentrated flavors.
