Kathryn Hall's

Blue Jay Pinot Noir 2018
Anderson Valley, CA
 Just in time for Thanksgiving! #1

The Anderson Valley AVA is 16 miles long and 5 miles across at it’s widest, and is bordered on three sides by low mountains as it twists and unfurls through small towns and vineyards, following the Navarro River out to the Pacific.
 We chose to feature this bottling before Thanksgiving because of the Valley’s climate which is relatively cool, with fog in the morning and sea breezes in the afternoon the perfect combination for making a complex Pinot Noir!
 
Known for her consistently award winning Cabernet Sauvignons
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!
93 Points The Wine Enthusiast
"Good depth of flavor and great structure make this wine appealing and complete.
Smoky aromas of clove, cedar and black pepper lead to concentrated and rich black-cherry and red-cherry flavors on a moderately tannic texture."

Our thoughts on this wine.....

Warm, inviting aromas of wild blueberry, clove, caramel, and forest floor rise from the glass.
The palate is plush and layered, with roasted stem inclusion adding breadth and savory notes.
Deep flavors of  black cherry brings this complex wine to a full-bodied and balanced finish.
Be it Turkey or Ham this will please all who grace your table!

Walt "Santa Rita Hills"

Just in time for Thanksgiving! #2

The Sta. Rita Hills American Viticulture Appellation is located on California’s Central Coast in Santa Barbara County. The Pacific Ocean’s morning marine layer and afternoon ocean breezes traverse the coastal valley corridors between the Purisima Hills and the Santa Rosa Hills, creating the perfect environment for growing Pinot Noir.
This is why we featured The Walt wines before Thanksgiving.

"Svelte and juicy, with lively dark plum and boysenberry flavors that feature forest floor notes. Pastry hints on the rich, open-textured finish."

A bit about Walt in Kathryn Hall's 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.
