Pinot Noir

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar | May 2013
"Bright medium red. Pungent, scented nose offers red cherry, raspberry, fresh herbs, clove and rose petal. Juicy, spicy and refreshing, with lovely floral perfume and nicely integrated acidity framing the sappy red berry and salty mineral flavors. Finishes with sweet, fine-grained tannins and lovely lift. Utterly satisfying entry-level pinot.”

“Gorgeous aromas, youthfully vibrant dark fruit, and a mouthwatering finish; likely to get even better with time.”

“One of the things I love about great California Pinot is the silky texture, and few reliably capture that better than Patz & Hall. The winery’s Sonoma Coast 2010 (92, $45) is simply seductive.” - Tim Fish

"Bright, deep red. Bright aromas of raspberry, cherry, flowers and spices. Sweet, lush and flavorful; a red fruit bomb framed and enlivened by pepper and spice nuances, plus a whiff of flowers. At once dense and fruity. Should be a real crowd-pleaser. Very strong for an entry-level pinot." - Stephen Tanzer

“Pure, rich and focused, with firm, ripe, vivid plum, black cherry andraspberry fruit that’s full-bodied, intense, complex and concentrated, gaining momentum and ending with a long, full, persistent finish. Drink now through 2016.” - James Laube

"Shows spectacularly ripe berries, cherries, anise, bacon, sandalwood and spices, wrapped into smooth, ultra-fine tannins. For all the richness, it finishes dry. A big wine, but balanced and nuanced." - Steve Heimoff

"In the Patz & Hall style, this is a richly oaked, ripe pinot noir. The blackness of the wine transitions to dark chocolate and strawberries in the end. The flavors last, with an emphasis on red fruit clarity and spice. Substantial enough for a grilled sirloin." - Joshua Greene
