You are Very Special!/You Deserve Morimoto Napa and Patz and Hall
We have traveled into the great Napa Valley and will visit the great Morimoto Napa restaurant,and feature the wines of Patz and Hall.First we will open two wines from Patz and Hall.First the Dutton Ranch 2014 Chardonnay. The phenomenal 2014 growing season yielded a standout expression of Dutton Ranch Chardonnay with all of the lush, alluring flavors and exquisitely balanced acidity that we love about this site. Heirloom clone aromas of white flowers and jasmine are soon followed by exotic layers of mango and papaya, as well as notes of green apple and toasted hazelnut. On the palate, the dramatic flavors are knit together by a dusty textural note from the lees stirring that adds nuance and structure. Overall, this is a profoundly textural wine that captures both the charm and complexity of some of Sonoma County’s oldest Chardonnay vines.We will also feature the Jenkins Ranch Pinot Noir. Jenkins Ranch has delivered a luscious, flowing expression of Pinot Noir with rich, mouth coating 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.Tonight we will be pairing these wines with great features from Morimoto Napa! The menu would take weeks to understand just how complete this incredible menu is.We will start at the Raw Bar,and move forward.CARRY ON! We will follow with the first in a series of features with this world class restaurant and winery.Cheers! Click here and join us at Morimoto Napa!.
