I've been working my way through a bunch of California Pinot Noir from the 2009 vintage. Last night I had the 2009 Patz & Hall Sonoma Coast Pinto Noir along with a veal meatloaf studded with Gorgonzola and served with smashed redskins and mushroom gravy. Patz & Hall does a number of single vineyard wines but this was their generic Sonoma Coast bottling. Solid nose of cranberry, black cherry and asian spices. Full bodied but not heavy on the palate with cherry, raspberry and spicy cinnamon flavors. Nice smooth tannins on the finish. Solid B+
