Discover Walt La Brisa Pinot Noir
Expert Review – Vintage 2023
The Wine Enthusiast 93 Points | Redolent of cinnamon, Bing cherry and sarsaparilla on the nose, this Pinot gains depth, purity and focus as it hits the palate. Flavors of dried raspberries, fried shiitake mushrooms, fresh mint and pithy tangerine peel along a seamless and vibrant finish.
Winemaker Description
This blend is comprised of primarily Bob’s Ranch, with Gap’s Crown and select grower partners throughout Sonoma rounding out the blend.
The wine has a true Sonoma Coast character—deep, earthy aromatics; concentration and depth on the palate; with bright fruit and supple tannin on the finish.
We utilized whole cluster in this vintage to help accentuate the unique character of each site, and we are very pleased with the resulting wine.
Memo Summary Notes
The 2023 WALT “La Brisa” Pinot Noir is a standout release from the Sonoma Coast, known for its balance of earthy depth and vibrant fruit. Produced by WALT Wines (part of the Hall Family of Wines), this vintage benefited from a remarkably cool and late growing season, which allowed for extended hangtime and concentrated flavors.
