“It’s hard to believe it’s been 30 years since we set out to bring our passion and vision to life,” said James Hall, who has made every Patz & Hall wine since 1988. “I’m very proud that we’ve stayed true to our original vision. Along the way, we’ve established great relationships with our growers, wine club members, fans and trade customers – and the winery wouldn’t be the success it is today without their incredible support.”
To craft the exceptional single vineyard and limited-production Patz & Hall wines, Winemaker James Hall has developed close, personal relationships with many of California’s finest growers—people like Larry Hyde, George Martinelli, Charlie Chenoweth and Gary Pisoni and family. This focus has given Patz & Hall unprecedented access to the finest sites, blocks and clones. These relationships are the cornerstones of the winery’s success, allowing Patz & Hall to realize the highest levels of quality and consistency.
“We’ve come a long way since we pooled together $10,000 to start the project,” said James. “While we’ve accomplished our dream of making single vineyard wines from top vineyard sites, my passion for finding the next great site and building new relationships with growers in Sonoma, particularly in the Sonoma Coast and Russian River Valley AVAs, keeps me energized for the future.”
Patz & Hall is part of Ste. Michelle Wine Estates.
In honor of the 30th Anniversary, the winery will be participating and hosting a series of events across the country as well as at the Sonoma House at Patz & Hall.
