2009 Patz & Hall Hudson Vineyard Carneros Chardonnay
14.2% alc., $55.
Released March 2011. From a unique block in the Hudson Vineyard that allows
longer hangtime. The Hudson Vineyard was founded in the 1980s by Lee
Hudson and is considered one the most prized sources of Chardonnay in
Carneros. Whole cluster pressed, 100% indigenous yeast fermentations, aged
sur lie with weekly stirring, 100% MLF, aged in 40% new Burgundian French oak
barrels. Unfiltered.
·
Light straw color in the glass. Shy aromas of pear, brioche
and petrichor. Delicious essence of baked apples with accents of pear jam,
baking spice and toasty oak. Juicy and mouth filling, bright and clean, with a
refreshing grip of acidity on the long finish. A wine of high pedigree that has the
balance to last many years in the cellar. Very good.
