Patz & Hall Chenoweth Ranch Pinot Noir 2023 750ml

Winery Notes:

Like several of our finest vineyards, Chenoweth Ranch was originally cultivated as an apple orchard. Planted in Goldridge soils on the far western edge of the Russian River Valley AVA, this beautiful 7-acre vineyard is in Green Valley, one of the region’s coolest areas, and is farmed almost entirely for Patz & Hall (Charlie Chenoweth makes a small amount of his own wine from the vineyard). Though enjoying excellent sunlight from its slight south-facing orientation, the vineyard is sheltered by steep western hills, which protect the Dijon clone grapes, helping the fruit to retain natural acidity. 100% Pinot Noir Multi-yeast fermentations (native yeast, followed by cultured yeast). 100% malo-lactic fermentation in barrel. 100% Burgundian French oak barrels- (42% new; 58% 1-2-year old) Bottled without filtration to preserve the wine’s aromas and flavors and enhance aging potential.
