2019 WALT Brown Ranch Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir - Brown Ranch
Critic Review
Spiced, herbal and densely concentrated, this is a robust, rich and ripe wine, full-bodied in dark, brooding berry and mocha chocolate.

Medium ruby color, the 2019 Brown Ranch Pinot Noir is subtle at first. The aromas open to layers of dried flowers, ripe strawberry, black tea and 5-spice powder. A soft and delicate entry leads to a plush mid-palate supported by warm oak notes. The wine finishes with an energizing lift of spice that's become the hallmark of Brown Ranch.

The Brown Ranch vineyard sits on a hillside within the Napa Carneros "banana belt" a specific micro-climate where the morning fog burns off earlier, warming the vineyard for a longer period of time than other sites in the appellation.
