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.
"Medium ruby-purple in color, the 2023 Clos Pepe Pinot Noir comes bounding out with notes of ripe blackberries and wild blueberries, plus hints of lilacs, Indian spices and forest floor. The full-bodied palate delivers impactful black fruit layers with a velvety texture and a lively line, finishing long and spicy." Lisa Perrotti-Brown 96LPB
"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
