Good weekday drinker. (1738 views) | | | Tasted by td1836 on 12/31/2013 & rated 91 points: Oaky chard with ripe pineapple, pear, and apple. Long finish. (1690 views) | | | Tasted by Anthony Chinn on 2/17/2013 & rated 89 points: Seems like P&H Chard is highly variable from bottle to bottle. It is always at least good, but I've had better. Wondering if getting the temp and O2 right on this makes a big difference. Overall, good balance of citrus and mineral. (3528 views) | | | Tasted by RobertDwyer on 12/26/2012 & rated 91 points: I've had a tough time with CA Chardonnay *but* this one pleased with its clean, voluptuous lemony characteristics on the nose and palate. Had a feeling I'd like it thanks to positive impressions of their Pinots. Great producer. (4076 views) | | | Tasted by What I'm Drinking Now on 12/8/2012 & rated 88 points: Patz & Hall makes clean Chardonnays that pair extraordinarily well with food and last night at Posto was no exception. The wine possessed muted pineapple and quince but finishes with red apple. Moderate acidity keeps his one really fresh on the palate but doesn't overwhelm. Cheers! (3817 views) | | | Tasted by tomherer on 10/31/2012 & rated 87 points: Decent sipper, but simple, with caramel, baked apple and pear flavors, and some lemon oil around the edges. Little fizzy up front; finish is short and slightly acrid. Better than a sharp stick in the eye, but there are better AVA chards for the money in this vintage. Ramey comes to mind as a comparable price/production alternative.
For what it's worth, feels like P&H's Pinots have been significantly outperforming their Chardonnays for the past few years. (2980 views) | | | Tasted by The Vinsider on 5/15/2012 & rated 92 points: Consistent with previous notes. Drank for Jessica's birthday. (3191 views) | | | Tasted by DSaeedi on 2/22/2012 & rated 89 points: An Evening with Donald Patz of Patz & Hall (Lincoln Park Binnys Tasting Room): Nose reveals some lemon citrus and some apple, toast and malolactic flavors, a strong current of banana and some other tropical notes. Palate is a nice balance of rich and lean. Slightly noticeable alcohol and could use a little more acidity to balance. But still a very pleasing effort and a very attractive nose. (2375 views) | | | Tasted by Tamu1956 on 2/15/2012 & rated 91 points: A nice light nose, apple with hint of oak. Smooth tastes of apple, pear with a balance of acidity to make a nice layered chardonnay. Paired with a range of seafood and the wine really opened up with air and as it warmed in the glass. (1782 views) | | | Tasted by The Vinsider on 1/4/2012 & rated 92 points: Drank alongside artisan cheese and spicy crab cakes on New Year's Eve with friends. This wine got praise from "I generally like Burgundy whites" crowd. Lovely acid, not too much oak, very fresh bright fruit, with layers of apple, citrus and stone fruit. (1784 views) | | | Tasted by 3daywinereview.com on 10/9/2011 & rated 91 points: Patz & Hall Wines (Bloomington, MN): A little better than the 08 with carmel, pinneapple, minerals and sour apples. A nicely balance wine and the oak is integrated into the wine. Medium finish. (2219 views) | | | Tasted by wino_tim on 7/22/2011 & rated 87 points: Subtle and elegantly styled with pear, flower, caramel nut, melon and tarragon flavors. Medium bodied and round on the palate, and while not particularly concentrated this is notably fresh, with good acidity and cut. (1874 views) | | | Tasted by ed-d on 11/12/2010 & rated 93 points: Clear gold color. Pretty deep smoke & lemon on the nose. Deeply rich entry with vibrant apple & pear flavors that flow into dusty acids. This is lovely. (2062 views) |

| Patz & Hall Producer websiteChardonnay The Chardonnay GrapeUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sonoma CountyMendocino CountySonoma Coast * Sonoma Coast AVA (Wikipedia)
