Flanagan Pinot Noir Gap’s View 2019
The 2019 Gap’s View Pinot Noir saunters from the glass with a sassy bouquet packed with red fruit notes of cherry and of raspberry jam that is forward and expressive. On the palate the fruit is more dark red plum and Bing cherry with hints of toasted molasses and subtle almond extract notes. It’s a wine that will deliver pleasure now after decanting and will age effortlessly for 8-10 years.
Flanagan Wines Winery
"Top vineyard sites have always been the cornerstone of our wines. Our original ranch in Bennett Valley is, without question, one of the top new world sites for cool climate Syrah. In 2015 we acquired the iconic Platt Ranch in Bodega. We believe that Platt is the top site for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in California. Eric Flanagan, through a targeted vineyard investment fund he started, acquired the Platt Vineyard and also purchased the Gap's View vineyard in the Petaluma Gap area of the Sonoma Coast AVA. Our vineyard designated wines currently include Platt Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Ritchie Vineyad Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Bacigalupi Chardonnay, and Gap's View Pinot Noir. I believe that, "access to the best fruit sources is the most critical part of making great wines."
