 2017
Sonoma Coast

 
Featuring both Dijon and Heritage clones this is a Pinot Noir lover’s dream come true.
All the body and fruit the warm west coast provides combined with the delicate flavors and nuances found in Burgundy! Known for her consistent high scoring Cabernets
Kathryn “Walt” Hall dreamed to celebrate life and inspire the senses though art, architecture and of course art in the bottle!
A visit to her wineries and you will see meticulous attention to detail in the vineyards and hence her wines are able to express the unique and diverse character of the soils and their climate. Her love of Pinot Noir is evident as she produces over 23 different vineyard/appellation Pinots each year!


92 Points. Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate
"The 2017 Pinot Noir La Brisa is medium to deep ruby-purple with a lovely nose of rose petal, tangerine peel and potpourri with spicy black and blue fruits at the core. Medium-bodied with a lovely silky texture, it offers intense, concentrated spicy fruit with soft framing tannins and juicy acidity on the finish"
93 Points The Wine Spectator
"Rich and full of dense, concentrated dark plum, black currant, olive and dried savory herb flavors, featuring pencil shaving and cast iron notes. The pure-tasting finished is filled with baker's chocolate accents."

 

Our Thoughts .....

Vibrant ruby red in color, the La Brisa Pinot Noir has plum, with notes of forest floor, ripe red fruit, raspberry pie and red cherry. Notes of barrel toast linger on the palate. The texture is rich, flavorful and plush, with beautiful soft tannin on the finish. With 10 months in 40% New French Oak this wine is a great value at its regular price!

A bit about Walt in her words….

My parents, Bob and Dolores Walt, were dedicated winegrowers who loved the land and each other. Our family produced six different varietals that we sold to several great wineries. For my parents, growing grapes was a shared family vision—a view of well cared for vines out the kitchen window, starting early in the day doing what you really love, the satisfaction of a hard day’s work, the feeling of peace walking through the vineyard before sunset.
When I was away I missed our vineyard terribly and longed to be home working with my family. So, I was happy to be able to manage the vineyard operations from 1982 until 1992. My parents passed away many years ago, but they remain forever my inspiration for growing grapes and making wine. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of their love of the earth or passion for the vines.
I just love these wines. At WALT we have an amazing and dedicated winemaking team, a state-of-the-art winemaking facility, a passionate winery staff, and strong relationships with extraordinary vineyard partners. What a combination!





I am thankful every day for the chance to make wine. And I am thankful that my parents, Bob and Dolores, guided our family to this wonderful way of life. I invite you to explore WALT Wines as they speak the voice of the vineyard and demonstrate the talent and passion of our team.
