Patz & Hall 2011 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)

Country: US /
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Patz & Hall / Sonoma Coast

Shows good Sonoma Coast character in the tart acids and cool-climate flavors of pomegranates, cherries and cola. Lots of new French oak adds rich notes of buttered toast and smoke. Appealingly dry, it’s a fancy, elegant wine from this fine producer, but finishes a little short. Drink over the next 2–3 years.
