2009 Patz & Hall Sonoma Coast Chardonnay
One 750ml bottle
This Chardonnay showcases the rich diversity of world-class vineyards in the acclaimed Sonoma Coast appellation. It harmoniously brings together the acidity, structure and stone fruit flavors of grapes grown on the windswept slopes of Gap's Crown Vineyard, the creme brulee and graham cracker elements of Durell Vineyard, the high-tone green apple and Muscat character of Dutton Ranch's heirloom clones and Zio Tony Ranch's lush and appealing tropical flavors. The natural richness and mouth-coating density are supported by sophisticated hints of minerality and a refreshing structure that adds length and focus.
