2014 Patz & Hall Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

14.2% alc., $46. A consistent performer in each vintage sourced from several vineyards including Dutton Ranch, Martinelli Family, and Chenoweth Vineyard. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. The initial aromas of underbrush, earthy flora and smoke give way to dark fruit scents over time in the glass. Silky on the palate, with a discreetly concentrated core of earthy black cherry and blueberry-pomegranate flavors sprinkled with complimentary oak. The wine is endowed with juicy acidity and a sweet cherry finish that has a slight sense of alcoholic warmth. Score: 89. Reviewed June 5, 2015
