Tasting notes
The 2007 Pinot Noir Burnside vineyard's medium dark ruby color is followed by wild strawberry, rhubarb, and smoky herb-like characteristics in a medium to full-bodied, round, delicious, seductive style. For the past twenty years, Patz and Hall has been one of California's finest negociant firms, accessing top quality fruit and vinifying and bottling their wines with minimal intervention. The following efforts represent the finest wines I have tasted from them in many years. Tel. (877) 265-6700

Good dark, bright red. Musky aromas of dark cherry, blueberry, espresso, mocha and tar. Then sappy and savory on the palate, with a peppery lift to the flavors of pungent dark berries, spices and underbrush. Finishes with a fine dusting of tannins and good length. I find more grip and definition here than in the Sonoma Coast bottling.
