Product Notes

Patz & Hall's Dutton Ranch Russian River Valley Chardonnay is a premium white wine that exudes elegance and complexity. The vines used to produce this wine are grown in the Dutton Ranch, which is known to be one of the most renowned vineyards in Russian River Valley. The vineyard's unique climate, combined with the winemaking team's expertise, produces a rich and full-bodied chardonnay with a notable minerality. On the nose, aromas of ripe apple, lemon zest, and a hint of oak greet the senses. On the palate, the wine displays flavors of white peach, fig, and quince, which are beautifully balanced with a bright acidity and a creamy texture. The long, crisp finish leaves a memorable impression and makes this chardonnay a perfect complement to any seafood or poultry dish.

Tasting Notes

Green apple and spicy pear aromas leap from the glass. Notes of Muscat and orange blossom waft around toasted hazelnut, clove, banana and fresh earth. Dense and mouth filling, the wine shows great acidic flow and a dynamic range of flavors. It’s complex without being heavy or tedious. Tangerine, dried apricot, chai tea and crème caramel dart and weave through the long finish.

About the Winery

Patz & Hall

If you are looking to taste some of the best Pinot Noir or Chardonnay wines in America, you should try the ones from the Patz & Hall brand. Four people, who had an undying passion for winemaking (Donald Patz, James Hall, Anne Moses and Heather Patz) had set up this winery in 1988. Today, this label is known for creating one of the best-known single-vineyard wines in California.

Ever since its establishment, this brand has aimed to develop good relationships with other like-minded, passionate family-owned winegrowers in California for getting the best quality of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay varietals. Some of the grower partners with whom Patz & Hall has developed an excellent relationship are the following:

  • Alder Springs Vineyards – Stuart Bewley
  • Burnside Vineyards – Lee and George Martinelli
  • Chenoweth Ranch – Bud & Charlie Chenoweth
  • Dutton Ranch – Gail, Steve and Joe Dutton
  • Gap’s Crown Vineyard – Bill Price
  • Hudson Vineyard – Lee Hudson
  • Hyde Vineyard – Larry Hyde & Family
  • Moses-Hall Vineyard – James Hall and Anne Moses
  • Pisoni Vineyard – Gary, Mark and Jeff Pisoni
  • Two Dryers Vineyard – Mark Sanchietti

The grapes for Patz & Hall wines are processed with utmost care and precision at the state-of-the-art winery established in the Sonoma Coast. Here, traditional winemaking methods are followed using modern equipment. The wines are fermented in custom-made barrels, which is quite unique to this winery. These barrels are first air-dried and seasoned for three years to help them retain the quality of the grapes.

All the grapes are hand-harvested, before they are sorted with great care at the winery. The cluster-pressing of the grapes ensures that the wines created here have very little tannin. This is the major reasons why the Chardonnay wines created under this label have great aroma and flavour.
