Our wine members just received this brand new sing Our wine members just received this brand new single vineyard for 2019 from Maritana Vineyards “Five Wells Vineyard” Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. This sensational vineyard produced a fabulous wine even from relatively young vines. 2019 was a tiny harvest there’s also a picture included here of the more productive 2020 picked grape bins. It’s different from our other sites and reveals its uniqueness with brightly refreshing flavors and all the pieces to gain with further bottle age.  Welcome to@our portfolio Five Well Vineyard!

Fresh off tasting the 2018 version, I decided to revisit one that’s been sitting in my cellar for a year (and is still available on the website BTW). Pale yellow with a definite green tinge, bright, crystal-clear and gorgeous, the chartreuse tint carries into the nose with green grass, sagebrush and herbal notes. Definitely acidic, the ‘butteryness’ naturally-occurring in chardonnay is definite, but takes a back seat–along with the hint of oak–to the rich golden fruit the variety SHOULD show in rather un-molested versions. Crenshaw melon and delicate, smoky potpourri play with fir-bark and savory sand in a Chablis-like dance highlighting meaty depth and purity in definition.

Tasting it follows suit. The inherent richness of Chardonnay is unmistakable: perfectly bitter on entry, going immediately awash in a mélange of minuscule peach and kiwi more lightly-honeyed herb tea and wet wood. It is not a glowing testimony to rash bee-stung tropicality, overt perceived sweetness or glycerin-y roundness, but sparks mineral thoughts and intelligent restraint over multitudes of tiny nuances rather than mind-boggling saccharine oomph. Tannins climb eagerly into the sandbox–these coated in a news-print sort of dank firmness and allowing the only concentration of fruit apparent in the whole wine to glow magnificently. So ridiculously clean and razor-sharp in the finish, it is a seamless–and beautifully harsh–testimony to intelligent Chardonnay: one hitting strong notes on ALL the qualifiers true lovers of the grape demand.

We’re not here to make ordinary wines. If wine is ultimately about pleasure then we want the highest and most sophisticated level of it. Come share with us.

Exclusively Russian River Valley. Pinot Noir with Donald Patz’s personal flair, fantastic vineyard sources, top winemaking facility – that is the Maritana Vineyards vision.
📍 @maritanavineyards by @drpinot

Pinot Noir that emphasizes the most intriguing part of this special grape variety – aroma. Pinot perfume 🍷 Fresh raspberry, some cola and lots of dark cherry, a sleek and aromatic glass. A blend of very special vineyards hand selected by Patz himself. 

After 29 vintages with his previous company Patz & Hall, he moved on in May of 2017. A perfect moment to quit or take some time off. That’s not really his style.

Mr. Patz hit the ground running to implement a new wine brand. “I had some things I still wanted to do in the wine business. I love sharing my wines. This time being free to rethink and take my wines in a slightly different direction was exciting and refreshing!”

Complex textures and flavors and beautiful color and all the other things that make up Pinot Noir from this region but for Maritana Vineyards... the most haunting part of the Pinot Noir experience has always been that perfume!

Get on the mailing list soon by visiting his website to get your hands on these beautiful bottles. CHEERS 🍷

Thank you @californiawinesandwineries Michael. Yes Thank you @californiawinesandwineries Michael. Yes of course this would be a fun match with chili. I’d serve it just a little colder than normal say 45°F to start but it would be delicious pairing!
Thanks to @chuckfuruya for his reminder on this post, too!

2017 Russian River Valley LA RIVIÈRE Chardonnay - Very subtle & complete Chardonnay with cooked lemons & apples & a complement of straw & gunpowder. Full-bodied, deep & layered with an ever attractive finish of fruit & minerals. Why wait? Drink now. SCORE: 95

James Suckling Wine Spectator

2017 Dutton Ranch HANSEN HILL Chardonnay - This powerfully concentrated white is engaging in floral and mineral tones, with a robust cradling of oak. There’s tension on the palate, which is layered in flavors of tropical guava, mango and pineapple that are dusted with baking spice. SCORE: 94
