Wind Gap Chardonnay Gap`s Crown Vineyard Sonoma Coast 2015  - First Bottle

Reviews

93 Vinous -
The 2015 Chardonnay Gap's Crown is gorgeous. Rich, powerful and phenolic, the 2015 Gap's Crown clearly has the frame to handle the natural intensity of the year. Lemon confit, sage, chamomile and white pepper confer brightness to this large-scaled, ample and beautifully expressive Chardonnay from Wind Gap. All the elements fall into place effortlessly.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
Made in an early-picked, Burgundian style, worthy of cellar-aging, Pax picks his Gap's Crown well before any of the other well-known producers who are lucky enough to this fruit. In a ripe year like 2015, he maintains his signature freshness and minerality that we've come to love. The winemaking is "hands-off" and shows off a more subtle side of this famed vineyard. Note...if you like rich, buttery Chardonnay, steer clear of this sleek and linear Chard!

About the Producer

Named after the forces of nature that shape the wines, Wind Gap Wines was established in 2006 by Pax Mahle, with a tiny release that included a wild skin-fermented Pinot Gris, a savory Sonoma Coast Syrah and a zesty coastal Chardonnay that drinks beautifully to this day. Seeking out vineyard sites impacted by coastal wind gaps, the focus is to bottle classically styled wines.
