Tasting notes
The 2007 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast shows lots of tart pomegranate, red currant, and plum-like fruit intermixed with hints of cloves, smoke, soft cranberries, and ripe cherries, all buttressed by lots of acidity. Drink it over the next 3-4 years. For the past twenty years, Patz and Hall has been one of California's finest negociant firms, accessing top quality fruit and vinifying and bottling their wines with minimal intervention. The following efforts represent the finest wines I have tasted from them in many years. Tel. (877) 265-6700

Medium red. Cherry, spices and nutty oak on the slightly diffuse nose. Then more shapely and perfumed in the mouth, but with limited complexity to the cherry, raspberry and spice flavors. Offers nice floral lift but only moderately depth and dimension. Finishes with good persistence but a slight dryness.
