Description
Aged in 50% new, 50% 1–2-year-old Burgundian oak barrels, the Patz and Hall Hyde Pinot Noir is elegant and refined. The nose is full of fresh red fruits, strawberries and raspberries, as well as dried rose petals and cinnamon. There is texture on the palate and great depth of flavour which is supported by cleansing acidity. Great length on the finish.
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: Serve with roast pork and crackling or seared duck breasts with dauphinoise potatoes.
