About Wind Gap Wines
Wind Gap Wines was founded in 2006. Grapes are sourced from vineyards throughout California, most of which are planted along or are directly influenced by one wind gap or another. These geological breaks in the coastal hills funnel wind inland and strongly influence the growing and ripening of wine grapes. The name, Wind Gap, celebrates this force of nature that shapes the wines.

Spiced Plumbs

TASTING NOTES:
“Crushed red cherries, spiced plums and exotic dark spices including clove and cardamom highlight this deeply aromatic wine. The palate follows the aromas with fresh tart cherries, plums and cinnamon laced fruit. Soft tannins give the wine structure and length while the NegroAmaro fruit stands out for its distinctive bite. This is a dead ringer for a rustic southern Italian Red.” (AbV 12.5%, pH 3.55, 40% Dolcetto 30% Negroamaro 30% Nero d’Avola)

BARRELS:
Neutral French oak.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
The “air gap,” in plumbing, refers to the empty space between the water outlet and the flood level of a fixture (like the edge of a sink).

While it’s basically a given that your sink or other fixture will have that space, the air gap serves an important role in preventing backflow from occurring.

Backflow is an unintended siphonage where water somehow goes the opposite direction than intended through a water outlet, putting potentially contaminated water back into the water supply and jeopardizing the system’s potability.

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
Red sauce pasta, or a roast.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
Trade certification in plumbing.
