Patz & Hall Pinot Noir Chenoweth Ranch 2012

This is a deep, dramatic and mouthfilling expression of Pinot Noir that for all of its palate-saturating richness still shows great elegance and complexity. Bright and forward, the aromas leap from the glass offering layers of cherry, mulled cinnamon stick, dusty rose, carnation, cocoa and mocha. On the palate, rich flavors of blackberry, black cherry and dark chocolate are framed by a big structure, dense tannins and seamlessly integrated new oak, all of which promise a long life in the cellar.
