Tasting Notes: Among the richer, more ambitious bottlings of California Malbec around, Patland’s 2019 is a fleshy, big-bodied version loaded with concentrated, very ripe black cherry and mixed berry fruit wrapped up in a generous measure of creamy oak. Though it is young and moderately tannic, it avoids daunting toughness to the degree that it will serve as a more-than-satisfactory partner to a juicy steak in the near term. Its structure, its depth and its clear promise of more layered complexity all point the way to even better things should it be tucked away in the cellar and left to rest for another four or five years.

Felix Patland

Felix Patland, deeply inspired by the world of wine from an early age, pursued his passion by earning a degree in Wine and Viticulture, with a concentration in Enology, from Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. His practical education commenced with his first harvest at Titus Vineyards in St. Helena, where he integrated theoretical knowledge with industry practices. Felix's winemaking philosophy has been significantly influenced by Jay Buoncristiani, the family's winemaker, who is known for taking calculated risks to achieve the best expression of the grape and vineyard site. ​

North Coast

The North Coast of California is the crown jewel of American winemaking, renowned for producing some of the world's most prestigious and sought-after wines. Home to legendary wine regions such as Napa Valley, Sonoma County, Mendocino, and Lake County, this area is defined by its diverse terroir, coastal influences, and generations of winemaking expertise. With its rolling vineyards, cool maritime breezes, and rich soil, the North Coast offers the perfect conditions for cultivating world-class Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Zinfandel. From the bold, structured reds of Napa Valley to the elegant, cool-climate wines of Sonoma and Mendocino, this region embodies the very essence of California wine culture. When people think of California wine country, they picture the scenic landscapes and historic vineyards of the North Coast—a place where tradition meets innovation, and every bottle tells a story of craftsmanship and excellence.
