Patz & Hall was founded in 1988 by four talented individuals - Donald Patz, James Hall, Anne Moses and Heather Patz. Together, they have turned Patz & Hall into one of California’s most highly regarded wineries, with a celebrated portfolio of single-vineyard Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines. 2014 Sonoma Coast The more this spectacular vineyard matures, the more dramatic its wines become. Though somewhat brooding at first, the nose quickly opens up to reveal mesmerizing layers of dark chocolate, damp earth, porcini mushroom, cherry, plum and dried cranberry. On the palate, this mix of savory and sweet elements continues, gaining depth and momentum as the wine reveals itself in evermore-nuanced layers. Gliding to a long, flowing conclusion, the dense tannins and robust structure turn silky and smooth, providing a memorable finish.This is a beautiful wine,and one of my favorites from Patz and Hall. We have a second new rtelease from Patz and Hall...The Jenkins Ranch Pinot Noir 2014. 2014 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir Once again, Jenkins Ranch has delivered a luscious, flowing expression of Pinot Noir with rich, mouthcoating tannins and alluring fruit. On the nose, layers of spicy cherry, moist forest floor and sea spray showcase this wine’s beautiful balance between concentration and complexity. The palate is lush and creamy, with supple tannins adding silkiness to red fruit flavors of raspberry, plum and pomegranate. Underscoring it all are hints of burnt almond toffee and cocoa, as well as an intriguing savoriness that carries the wine to a long satisfying finish. Vintage after vintage, Jenkins delivers a rich, flowing expression of Pinot Noir with big tannins and alluring fruit—and 2012 is no exception. While this wine showcases plenty of fresh-picked wild strawberry, pomegranate and raspberry jam layers, there are also more savory flavors of white pepper, iodine and sage, as well as a hint of briny ocean air. This is a particularly great showing for Jenkins Vineyard! Past vintages have recieved great reviews from Jenkins Ranch and Patz and Hall...check this out...Wine Enthusiast - "This is a forceful and powerful wine from a vineyard site in the producer’s portfolio since 2005. Broad-shouldered, it offers juicy strawberry and pomegranate expressive of a ripe, picture-perfect vintage. It also manages to retain a pretty, floral characteristic and a depth of dried herb, clove and peppery spice, particularly on the finish."
