2014 Patz & Hall Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

$40. Released July 2015. This bottling is made from a “who’s who” of outstanding winegrowing sites. Recently, Patz & Hall started to use grapes from Gap’s Crown Vineyard and Sanchietti Vineyard Pleasant Hill (planted specifically for Patz & Hall) in this bottling. Whole cluster pressed, indigenous yeast fermentation, aged on the lees with weekly stirring, 100% malolactic fermentation in barrel, aged in 35% new French oak barrels. · Moderately light golden yellow color in the glass. Very nicely perfumed with scents of lemon, honey, crème brûlée and brioche holding up over time in the glass. Slightly creamy on the palate and moderately rich in flavor with oak enhanced notes of citrus and peach. Good cut with a slightly tart lemon-driven finish that is a bit cloying. Score: 89.
