Patz & Hall Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2021

#31 Wine of the Year, Wine Spectator 2024 Top 100

96 Points, Decanter – 93 Points, Wine Spectator – 93 Points, Wine Enthusiast

Decanter awarded it a staggering 96 points, declaring, “It will last and last.” Wine Spectator gave it 93 points and ranked it #31 in their Top 100 Wines of 2024.

This one is so stinkin’ special. Sixteen small, independent family-owned vineyard sites across the Sonoma Coast create this masterpiece. The wine captures pure coastal Pinot character – fresh red fruits, cherry, mulled strawberry, and cassis, with spice notes of cinnamon, clove, and anise. Its structure is impeccable – refined tannins, fresh acidity, and Decanter’s noted “lovely saline finish” from the cool Sonoma Coast sea air.

96 Points, Decanter

Delightful, extra juicy red and black fruits give graciously and generously with a mouth-filling texture and soft, silky tannins. The coolness of the Sonoma Coast takes the salty sea air and places it squarely on the grapes to give this wine a lovely saline finish. The great structural envelope will protect this wine for the future. It will last and last.

93 Points, Wine Spectator

Fresh and lively, offering a delightful stream of raspberry and mulberry coulis flecked with a mouthwatering savory edge through the pure, pinpoint finish. Textbook vintage and AVA profile. Drink now through 2031.

This deep and delicious “regular” bottling from Patz & Hall is fragrant in black cherries, pine needles and ground cloves before blackberries, black tea and hints of cinnamon and cedar play across the palate. At once full-bodied and well-balanced, the wine offers abundant fruits and spices on a moderately tannic texture. Best through 2030.

Since 1988, Patz & Hall has been one of California’s greatest wine treasures. Founders Donald Patz and James Hall leverage nearly 100 years of combined experience and relationships, securing access to legendary vineyards like Pisoni, Dutton Ranch, Martinelli, Hyde and Hudson. This is why sommeliers in the finest restaurants worldwide have long clamored for their wines – and why this Sonoma Coast bottling represents such extraordinary value.
