The 2020 vintage of our Gap’s Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir exhibits phenomenal structure. Flavors are lifted and nuanced, while offering dark berry and cherry aromas with notes of baking spice. Gap’s Crown is a premier vineyard within the Petaluma Gap region of the Sonoma Coast. It sits at a windy 800 feet with volcanic soils that deliver intense, concentrated wines. Much of the wine’s intensity derives from vine stress caused by the site’s steep slopes and rocky soils.

International Wine Report
"I always look forward to the wines from Gap’s Crown Vineyard and Sojourn has made another killer bottle of wine with this 2020 vintage. 100% destemmed and fermented in 50% new French oak. Wonderful notes of blackberries, black cherries, dried poultry herbs, mullberries, milk chocolate, purple flowers, blood orange and toasted clove all give way to a rich, medium-bodied Pinot Noir that presents ripe tannins, heaps of charm, a spacious texture and fruity, yet savory, finish. Enjoy this now or over the next 10 years." - Jeremy Young, International Wine Report
