Wine Enthusiast, 95 Points  

"This is a ripe, tense and powerfully built wine from the great site, with a savory style that speaks to forest and black tea, with even a tease of sea spray. Lengthy and with buzzy acidity, it delivers full-bodied flavor and richness while remaining fresh throughout." 

Jeb Dunnuck, 94 Points 

"Pouring a dark but transparent red, the 2019 Pinot Noir Chenoweth Ranch is layered with aromas of sweet spices of cardamom, kirsch, and pressed roses. Elegant ripe fruit fills the palate, followed by a clean, silky texture, fine tannins, and balanced fresh acidity. Ripe with wild raspberry, baking spice, and fresh flowers, it’s long on the finish and has a graceful feel. This is a fantastic and classic wine with wonderful purity. Drink 2023-2033." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Chenoweth Ranch is planted to a mix of Dijon clones that deliver one of the juiciest, richest wines in Patz & Hall's single vineyard lineup. Complex aromas of cinnamon, five spice powder, dried cranberry, licorice, and damp forest floor leap from the glass. Dried lavender and aromatic cedar introduce supple, enrobed tannins that make for a full, mouth filling wine while maintaining a sleek Russian River Valley purity. The 2019 will reward patient cellar aging, though this is a vintage of immense charm which will make it hard to resist."
