United States, California, Sonoma Coast Vintage: 2022 Alc 14.5% by volume Bottle Size: 750ml Patz & Hall Gap’s Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022 comes from one of the Sonoma Coast’s...
Patz & Hall Gap’s Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022 comes from one of the Sonoma Coast’s most recognized cool-climate vineyard sites, exposed to the winds and marine influence of the Petaluma Gap.
Black cherry, blackberry and dark plum lead the aromatic profile, followed by floral notes, forest floor, black tea, sandalwood and subtle spice. The palate is broad and concentrated, with fine but firm tannins and fresh acidity giving structure to the generous dark fruit.
Gap’s Crown consistently produces one of the more powerful expressions in the Patz & Hall Pinot Noir portfolio. The 2022 combines that natural concentration with enough freshness and tannic structure to reward further time in bottle.
For customers who prefer Pinot Noir with depth and presence rather than a light, delicate style, this is a particularly compelling Sonoma Coast example.
Food Pairing: Pair with duck, roast chicken, pork tenderloin, grilled salmon, mushroom dishes, veal, or semi-aged cheeses.
Serve around 56–60°F. A 30–45 minute decant will help the fruit, spice and savory notes open.
