Tastes like a Cali Pinot, so not my thing… but damn, this IS good. Big and juicy with bright tart flowers. Cinnamon and spice, definitely some clover. Teeth clenchingly good and acidic.

Solid from start to finish. An hour in and it starts to show a sophisticated yet youthful exuberance. Delightful complexity as it opens. Up front a kaleidoscope, at first, of damp earth and mushrooms, giving way to juicy, ripe black cherries and red raspberries. Lush mid palate courtesy of excellent concentration and structure; mouth-watering acidity that goes and goes. Hint of bakers chocolate at the start of a light but lingering finish. I'm gonna be bummed when this bottle is empty.

Last stop on day one in Sonoma was at Patz & Hall Winery. Last wine is their Pinot Noir from the Pisoni Vineyard.
Medium ruby red. Layered nose with spices, dark berries and purple floral notes. Medium plus acidity (7/10) and medium plus to full bodied. Rich yet elegant on the palate with notes of dark berries, purple flowers and a touch of earthiness. Balanced throughout with a long finish. Drink till 2029. $$$

Dark Ruby with rich complex aromas of black and red fruits with smoky toasty notes. On the palate ripe cherry, strawberry and sweet blueberry with cacao and toasty oak. Aged on French Oak, this wine was well balanced, savory, lingering nicely ending with some spicy notes. Aged well, has more room. Wow!! A Gem!! Tasting Sample.
