WALT WINES
A project by winery proprietor, Katherine Hall, who is best known for her cult Napa Cabernet. She now sources small amounts of Pinot Noir from some of the top vineyards along the West Coast, from the Willamette Valley to the Sta Rita Hills, all with the aim of crafting single-vineyard, small lot Pinot Noirs under the Walt label.
"The 2022 Pinot Noir Clos Pepe is medium ruby-hued and has an expressive nose of ripe black raspberries, leafy herbs, and ample, peppery, spicy nuances. It's balanced, medium-bodied, has a pure, elegant mouthfeel, and ripe tannins. (Drink between 2024-2032)" -Jeb Dunnuck, 92JD
"Very rich aromas of black cherry compote and French toast spices are very comforting and inviting on the nose of this bottling. Firm tannins wrap around the black cherry, cola and toasted herb flavors of the creamy palate. " -Matt Kettmann, 94WE
