2023 WALT Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir
Critic Review
"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."

The 2023 vintage bursts with vibrant aromas of sweet cherry and darker raspberry fruit while subtle herbal and loamy notes speak to its terroir. Silky, fine-grained tannins support lovely flavors of plum, mineral and spicy nuances all wrapped in a richly textured finish.
