Description
Aged in Burgundian French oak barrels, 27% of which are new, the Patz and Hall Dutton Ranch Chardonnay is quintessential Russian River Valley. On the nose, aromas of toasted almond, butter cookie and nutmeg, whilst the palate is full of citrus, passionfruit and orange blossom with great minerality on the finish. An age-worthy and complex wine from Sonoma County.
Patz & Hall was founded in 1988 by four talented individuals: Donald Patz, James Hall, Anne Moses, and Heather Patz. Together, they turned Patz & Hall into one of California’s most highly regarded wineries with a celebrated portfolio of single-vineyard wines. To achieve their goal of making exceptional limited-production wines from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the four founders each focused their specialized knowledge and expertise on different areas of the winery’s operations. All wines are made at their state-of-the-art winery in Sonoma – which was designed by winemaker James Hall. In addition to their still Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines, they also produce a couple of sparkling wines from these grape varieties.
Food Pairing: Pair with roast pork and apple sauce, fish tacos, or grilled chicken dishes.
