2020 Patz & Hall Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

"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." 

"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." 

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."
