This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese comes from the high slopes of Atlas Peak, where temperatures can be up to 10 degrees cooler than the valley floor.

This wine is largely based on the Cabernet Sauvignon variety. Ripe red berries, cassis, violets, leather and cocoa powder dominate on the nose and palate.

Dutton Ranch Chardonnay is a dense, full-bodied wine with notes of ginger, guava, and crème brûlée with roasted almonds and caramel. As this is a cool location within the Russian River Valley, this wine does not lack crisp acidity. This wine is destined for extended bottle age, when it is just able to develop its full potential.

This stony vineyard sits directly above Petaluma Gap, making it one of the coolest in the Patz & Hall winery portfolio. The grapes from this vineyard yield wines that have firmer tannins and pronounced acidity. This is a wine full of juicy red fruit and cranberry with spicy cinnamon and cocoa flavors. On the palate it is juicy and very long with an earthy finish. This wine deserves a few years in bottle to develop its full potential.
