| Description: | Wine maker notes Like the Durell Vineyard, where we made lovely Chardonnay in a similar style in past vintages, Gap's Crown Vineyard is owned by wine mogul (and all around good guy) Bill Price. We simply traded our contract for Durell fruit to one for Gap's Crown fruit in the same quantity. The 138-acre Gap's Crown Vineyard is situated on the Southern end of Sonoma Mountain on the west side. It is a hillside vineyard with extremely stony soils and low yields. Known as The Petaluma Gap, this area is a fog and breeze pocket that is unique in the Sonoma Coast. Cool temperatures, low pH values and high natural acidity produce wines of stunning vibrancy. We will miss our Durell offering, but Gap's Crown Vineyard will allow us to make the wine we have dreamed of. Producer For Robert Craig Winery, winemaking always begins with the vineyards -- more specifically, with our belief in the crucial importance of vineyard location in producing wines of tremendous depth and character. By concentrating on small quantities of wine from distinctive Napa Valley mountain vineyards, we have been able to create wines that reflect the impact of "terroir," or the combination of soils, climate and viticultural characteristics of the growing locale. Our winemaking philosophy builds upon the best that the winegrowing appellation has to offer. The goal is to let each wine's special personality and unique qualities shine through. |
