The 2011 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast (one of their generic and largest cuvees, just over 7,000 cases) spent 11 months in wood before bottling. They use about 50% new oak for their generic wines and up to 70% in their single-vineyard wines, depending on the extract and vintage material they harvest. This 2011 Chardonnay is a relatively good value, with loads of tropical fruit and honeysuckle, some subtle background oak and a medium-bodied, lush, round and generous mouthfeel. Patz and Hall has a long and enviable track record, making Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from some of the very finest single vineyards in Northern California. They rarely miss a beat, and the wines are “sure bets” regardless of vintage conditions. The current group of 2011s and early-released 2012s once again prove the consistency of these wines, which cut a very attractive synthesis in style between the more austere Burgundian model and the riper, more fruit-laden California style. As one can see, these are consistently well-made wines from Patz and Hall that merit significant attention from all serious wine consumers. The Pinot Noirs from Patz and Hall tend to be cold-soaked prior to fermentation for 3-4 days, and depending on the vintage, the grapes are usually uncrushed whole clusters with normally around 10-20% stems utilized.
