You have been waiting for the release of this wine and today is the day.The package arrives and instantly you have dinner plans and excitement as you open this great bottle.You are smart as you ordered a case...Let's check out the history and some of the tasting notes on this great Pinot Noir. 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.The vineyard location is extremely cool and foggy site.The vineyard produces very dark fruit and the result is a very full and one of a kind wine.This is the wine you want to have with that steak,and very rich sauce.I say "Be bold and discover the incredible essence of this one of a kind Pinot Noir from Patz and Hall. “Run by noted vineyard and winery owner Bill Price, Patz & Hall Winery utilizes fruit from the well-known Gap’s Crown Vineyard in the foothills of Sonoma Mountain above the Petaluma Wind Gap.
