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.
"This appellation cuvée is just as strong as the brand's single-vineyard expressions. Lovely aromas of cherry, berry, red flower, sumac and cinnamon draw the nose into the wine. Focused flavors of cherry and strawberry give way to peach and white pepper on the palate, where fine-grained tannins recall pulverized chalk." -Matt Kettmann, 95WE
"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
