Gaps Crown Chardonnay 2021
Our Gap’s Crown 2021 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is without doubt our most successful effort ever in our pursuit to produce a world-class, cellar-worthy white wine. Our winemaker Jason Price has used more neutral barrel fermentation as opposed to stainless steel on the 2021 with increased pressure at the press and limited sur lie stirring. More body and depth, but also increased tension and precision in the wine. 2021 was a perfect vintage on the Sonoma Coast with very low yields, terrific acid structure and elevated intensity of flavor in the fruit. The wine is so young and tight currently that it is just beginning to show the tangerine rind, stone fruit and mineral notes for which Bill Price’s Gap’s Crown Vineyard is known. The presence of new French oak gently influences the wine with a kiss of spice and roundness. As our production has dropped while demand has risen for this spectacular Chardonnay, we now have very little to share. We urge you to take advantage of your access to this wine and then blow the minds of your white Burgundy snob friends in the blind tasting. As always, your purchase goes to support the Tomales Bay Oyster Overpopulation Concerned Citizens Alliance.
