Wind Gap Gap's Crown Vineyard Chardonnay, 2013

Gap's Crown Vineyard, located in the Petaluma Gap of the Sonoma Coast appellation, is a rocky, well dreained site with a cool micro-climate that is widely recognized as an excellent site for growing distinctive Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines. This Wind Gap Chardonay is a good example.

Deep, matiure gold color. Intense bouauet and flavors. Lemon butter, peaches, a bit of almond and hazelnut. Acid level that is much higher than is present in most New World Chardonnays, and, for me, that is a plus. Tight structure, energetic attack and finish.
