Library Collection
Patz and Hall wines are sourced from some of the most storied vineyards in California. Grapes from these vineyards are harvested at the optimal moment of ripeness, where delicious fruit flavors and aromas abound, yet acid is maintained. It is this acidity in both our Chardonnay and Pinot noir which lends the wines to evolution in the bottle. The library offering is our proof that Patz & Hall is intended for the long haul. We have held small numbers of these back vintages to offer you today in hopes that you will delight in tasting the complexities that unfurl with time in bottle.

2018 Bootlegger's Hill Russian River Chardonnay
From one of the coolest sites we work with on a high ridge just east of the town of Occidental, this Chardonnay is floral, fruity, rich and crisp. The nose shows grapefruit rind, lemon cream, cedar spice, cardamom, spicy pear and a touch of distant campfire smoke notes before revealing star jasmine flowers, carnation and oily clove. The palate is delicate and lithe while retaining a fat core of richness and strength. Complex flavors of summer melon, graham cracker and Bosc pear linger before the profound acidity clears the way for the next sip.
