Patz and Hall Wine Company was founded in 1988 by Donald Patz, James Hall, Anne Moses and Heather Patz, and is dedicated to the production of hand-crafted wines. The four are long-time Napa Valley residents and wine industry professionals, with a wide variety of experiences. Patz and Hall produces Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines from selected vineyard sources in Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino and Monterey counties. The Patz and Hall method is to work closely with each of their growers to achieve a unique expression of the vineyard site and deliver wines that reflect both the site and their vision for great wine.

Winemaker Notes: The 2018 offering is a collection of fourteen single-vineyard quality sites that could all be bottled on their own including Dutton Ranch, Sanchietti Vineyard, Gap’s Crown Vineyard, Zio Tony Ranch and Durell Vineyard. The wine has inviting aromas of spicy pear, lemon drop and lime zest. As a cool-climate Chardonnay, there’s a nice tartness on the palate giving the wine great poise, balance and energy. A pretty floral note adds a layer of complexity and melds with the peach nectar and apple flavors on the long finish.

92 Pts Jeb Dunnuck: The 2018 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast looks to be terrific, with a juicy, vibrant, medium-bodied style as well as classic lemon, melon, crushed stone, and white flower-like aromas and flavors. It picks up a beautiful salinity and saltiness on the finish and is going to evolve nicely for 3-5 years. Incredibly well-done, it displays classic Sonoma Coast character.

Floral and mineral-driven, this coastal wine delivers a stoniness of green apple and pear—crisp, defined flavors that lead to a complementary spread of brioche and toasted oak. Hearty and rich, it has balance and concentration.
