點擊次數：5263

The 1997 Pinot Noir Hyde Vineyard (13.8% alcohol) is a medium-bodied, lush, attractive wine with black cherries dominating its aromatics and flavors. It possesses a character similar to a Beaune premier cru. As the wine sits in the glass, the perfume becomes more intense, revealing notes of black raspberries. A beautifully made wine from Dijon clone 113, it should drink well for 3-5 years. It was bottled unfiltered. Patz and Hall's Pinot Noirs may not quite reach the thrilling level attained by their Chardonnays, but this estate is gaining ground with each new vintage. All of the wines reviewed in this segment are bottled with no filtration, and most without fining, although some fining agents are added to the Russian River and Alder Springs Pinots. This high quality producer owns no vineyards, but is obviously exploiting some of the finest sources for fruit on California's North Coast. The bevy of Pinot Noirs offered by Patz and Hall will quickly place this winery among the upper hierarchy of California Pinot producers. Tel. (707) 963-4142; Fax (707) 963-9713
