Patton Valley Pinot Noir

Patton Valley Pinot Noir Wine Details
Price: $35.00 per bottle

Description: Stylistically, this wine walks the line between 1999 and 2000 in that it has beautiful fruit like 2000, but is a bit more restrained, and excellent acidity and structure, like the 1999, but is a bit more accessible. Now starting to shed some of its initial hardness, the nose shows mocha dusted raspberries with earth and ginger. The attack has softened with velvet cherries and currants. Fine grained, smooth tannins give way to a berry-dominated finish. Approachable now, but additional cellaring will be rewarded up through the end of the decade. 803 cases produced, available.
