Patz & Hall with Kevin Hinchman/Bommarito

Patz and Hall

Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2011.. short vintage.. collected from two single vineyards..a strong oaky influence.. nice texture though.. good finish

Chardonnay Dutton Ranch 2011. more of a crowd pleaser..rich and unctious with the right amount of oak influence for me.. old vines... which for chard is around 30 I am told

Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard 2010  much more austere and mineral.. a nice rush of fruit on the end.. and finished a little hot..

Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast.2011 again light vintage.. dried fruit and perfumey nose,  definite tannic finish on the back but was expecting a little more fruit up front
