Patiné
Patiné produces wines from Sonoma County's North Coast, a region celebrated for its cool maritime influence and diverse terroir. The winery's portfolio centers on two classic varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir. The Earnest's Eye Cabernet Sauvignon, their flagship red, displays the structure and depth characteristic of quality Cabernet from this region. Their Pinot Noir offerings—including the Soberanes—reflect the elegance and complexity that Sonoma's cooler microclimates can impart to this temperamental variety. Wine Advocate has rated these wines, affirming their technical merit. Patiné's focus on these two grapes suggests a commitment to varietal expression over breadth, allowing the winery to refine its approach to California's most prestigious reds.
