Gap's View Vineyard, Petaluma Gap, Sonoma

A 200-case production of exceptional Pinot Noir from a new and exciting AVA in Sonoma County.

Bright red and blue fruit abound on the expressive nose, the wine glides into a smooth and richly fruited midpalate, and finishes with a tug of fine-grained tannin, a hint of spice, and mouthwatering acidity that leaves you begging for another sip. This wine displays an incredible balance of texture and acidity.

Andy and Jarred picked September of 2021, aged 15 months in French Oak to bring texture and nuance to the wine.

Gap’s View is operated by legendary Sonoma grower Eric Flanagan. It sits comfortably in the recently formed Petaluma Wind Gap AVA. An ideal location for Pinot Noir, the fruit is ripened by the warm California sun but retains brightness and acidity from the cooling Pacific winds.

Andrew J. Renda and Jarred Pearce founded AJ Pearce Wines in 2007. 15 harvests later, AJ Pearce continues to investigate new vineyards in pursuit of creating superb wines. Rest assured that Andy and Jarred’s attention to every aspect of viticulture, refined by decades of experience, will always result in wines crafted with pride and passion.
