Patton Valley Pinot Noir

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

Description: The 2002 growing season was ideal, or borrowing from Hollywood, it was as good as it gets. Mild spring weather, a good but not overly heavy fruit set, combined with very warm and dry conditions well through harvest produced the best vintage out of a stellar 5-year run from 1998. Our 2002 Pinot Noir mirrors that trend, being the most supple and complex Patton Valley Pinot to date. Here are Monte and Todd's tasting notes, "Rose petals, earth, soy sauce and red berries dominate the nose, with an underlying current of asian spice. In the mouth, it opens with an understated attack, the fruit bursting forth after a second or two. Fantastic, silky, lace-like tannins then share the stage with cherries and plums. The finish is very fine and persistent. Drink from 2004 to 2009." Only 630 cases produced.
