Black Kite, Sonoma Coast (Sonoma County, California) Chardonnay 2017

May 19, 2020

By Robert Whitley

The Black Kite Gap’s Crown is one of winemaker Jeff Gafner’s most elegant Chardonnays, combining richness with finesse to produce a remarkable California chardonnay.  Notes of lemon oil, crisp apple and baking spice leap out of the glass.  On the palate the wine exhibits remarkable depth, with layered complexity and a scintillating thread of minerality.
