Winemaker Notes
Critical Acclaim
All VintagesHigh in acidity with a voluptuously sleek and supple body, this is a smoothly tamed wine. It's youthful and structured, with a mix of citrus, black cherry and cola. Medium bodied, it's memorably balanced and possesses subtle power. Editors' Choice
Gushes with pure, rich blackberry, blueberry and wild berry flavors, with touches of anise and cedar imparting a firm backbone. Most impressive on the finish, which is long and persistent, presenting a firm, tannic backbone. Drink now through 2022.
The slightly bigger wine of the Patz & Hall pair, but never once threatening to be in any way heavy or cumbersome, the Hyde Vineyard version is Pinot of great substance and strength that conveys both potency and a genuine sense of layered complexity. It is fleshy, full and wonderfully supple on entry, then steers ever so slightly to welcome firmness as it goes, and, although easy to appreciate now, it has the solid architecture of a wine meant for keeping and should show even more range as its softens over the next half-dozen years.






Patz and Hall Wine Company was founded in 1988 by Donald Patz, James Hall, Anne Moses and Heather Patz, and is dedicated to the production of hand-crafted wines. The four are long-time Napa Valley residents and wine industry professionals, with a wide variety of experiences. Patz and Hall produces Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines from selected vineyard sources in Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino and Monterey counties. The Patz and Hall method is to work closely with each of their growers to achieve a unique expression of the vineyard site and deliver wines that reflect both the site and their vision for great wine.
