2015 Patz & Hall Pinot Noir Gap's Crown Vineyard
Tasting Note:May 24, 2017
Solid ruby red. Herbaceous nose with red berries and a touch savory on day one. Day two opened up with some sweet spices, earthy notes and dark currants. A bit harsh on day one on the palate with tart strawberries on the attack, a savory undertone and steely finish. Day two the tarty notes disappeared and brought on some more savory notes and red berries. High lingering acidity (7/10) and medium bodied. Medium plus finish. Needed the second day to become more integrated. Give it a nice decant if drinking now.
Made of 100% Pinot Noir from the Gap's Crown Vineyard on the Sonoma Coast. Aged in 60% new Burgundian French oak barrels. Only 900 cases produced.
