In the Spring of 2016, the wine world was stunned by the news that Donald Patz had sold his iconic brand Patz & Hall to Chateau St. Michelle, the enormous Washington State winery for an undisclosed amount. Patz, who admitted in the sale’s press release that he had no intention of selling, was met with an offer he just couldn’t refuse and a deal was made quickly.
Patz left on great terms and with his sources of fruit, Hyde Vineyard, Hudson Vineyard, Dutton Ranch, Chenoweth Ranch, Gap’s Crown Vineyard, etc. but the other terms of the agreement weren’t known. What unfolded next was just about the industry’s worst kept secret.
It was painfully clear that Patz had signed some sort of non-compete in the agreement. After all, St. Michelle continued to use the iconic Patz & Hall name, and if you don’t read the wine news, you probably didn’t even know this took place. That’s what they’re banking on.
But Donald Patz wasn’t ready to hang up his cleats just yet. After taking just one harvest off to kick his feet up, he immediately dove into a new project the following May. But this time the name ‘Patz’ couldn’t come with him.
Though with his good buddies at Hyde, Hudson, Dutton Ranch and Chenoweth vineyards still on speed dial, the ‘Doctor of Pinot’ tapped into his special relationships to start a new chapter at Maritana and further cement his Hall of Fame legacy.

Donald Patz’s blend of several sites and clones within the appellation, this hearty red is beautifully layered and complex. Wild strawberry, rhubarb, dried herb and black tea give it varietal distinction amidst an underlying tension of acidity. Thick tannin and oak weight contribute power.
92 Points, James Suckling
A creamy, soft pinot with strawberry, chocolate and light coffee. Some toffee undertones. Medium to full body. Subtle and balanced for the area. Drink or hold.

This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.

Feudo Montoni has been one of the best producers in Italy for literally hundreds of years, most notably for their work with Nero D’Avola grape in Sicily. It’s a gorgeous expression at such a good price. The 2020 “Lagnusa” is the perfect pizza or Thanksgiving wine with juicy black fruits, grippy tannins and a wonderful, fresh and herbaceous finish. Vinous Media gave the wine 92 points and raved, calling it “remarkably fresh yet long, leaving the mouth watering while still resonating on hints of blackberry.” You’re going to love this.
Not Eligible for Futher Discount-From famed winemaker, Robert Foley comes an absolute delight of a bottle of wine. A seamless Bordeaux blend of 80% Cabernet, 17% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot that is incredibly smoothly now but should have another decade easy of prime drinking. It is the definition of a Saturday Night bottle of wine. One to cherish for a special occasion.
The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
