Three Sticks Gap’s Crown Pinot Noir 2019

The influence of fog and wind on the iconic Gap’s Crown vineyard creates a site that produces world class pinot noir in perfect balance of darker fruits and mouthwatering acidity. The nose of the 2016 pinot noir hints at its cooler origin, evoking fresh blackberry galette with undertones of hibiscuss and red licorice. On the palate, the texture is inviting and bright, yet structured with silky tannins creating a wine that is built to age well. Our mix of heritage and dijon clones lend an elaborate blend to the wine, showing a blue/black fruit core with pipe tobacco spiciness. As evidenced by the beautiful balance and strength of this opulent pinot, the Gap's Crown vineyard shows how well Pinot Noir performs in some of these cooler areas of our county.
