2008 Patz & Hall Chardonnay Zio Tony Ranch
UNITED STATES / CALIFORNIA / SONOMA
International Wine Cellar | Rating: 91
($60) Good bright yellow. Apple and honey on the nose. Plump and sweet, with noteworthy intensity to its orchard and stone fruit flavors. This, too, comes across as rather powerful but there's very good concentration here.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: May/June 2010

Fairly yellow with very light green highlights. Aromas of oak, touch of butter and vanilla. On the palate this is medium body with flavors of lime, more citrus than tropical, a little hot with alcohol. Touch buttery on the finish but not overloaded.Drink Dates: 2011-2012Author: Wine365
Since 1988, Patz & Hall has set a standard for Chardonnays and Pinots that epitomize poise and finesse. The winery is a partnership of four individuals - Donald Patz, James Hall, Anne Moss and Heather Patz - all of whom are veterans in the production of fine wine. Between them, they have made wine at Flora Springs, Honig Cellars, Far Niente, Marimar Torres, Spring Mountain and Cain Vineyard. They source from regions ranging from the Santa Lucia Highlands to Mendocino, and prime areas in between. The wines skillfully maintain the intricate and graceful dance between substance and balance, power and elegance - the key characteristics of world-class Pinot Noir.
