Walt Wines Description
Experience the vibrant allure of Walt Wines' Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir. Crafted in the fog-kissed hills of Sta. Rita, this 100% Pinot Noir is aged 10 months in new French Oak, revealing a symphony of ripe cherry, pomegranate, and spicy clove notes. The 2021 vintage, marked by low yields and rich concentration, offers a lively structure and an energetic finish with a hint of salinity. Taste the essence of Santa Barbara County in every sip.
Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points
Powerful aromas of dark cherry, strawberry jam and crushed star anise make for a hedonistic nose on this bottling. The palate ranges from black cherry to baked berry, with cardamom and more star anise as well as a firm tannic frame standing in the background.
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
A ripe, inviting style, with a delicious core of plum, raspberry and maraschino cherry fruit flavors, which meld nicely with singed anise and apple wood through the caressing finish.
Jeb Dunnuck: 90 Points
The appellation 2021 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills (5% stems) is up-front and charming, with beautiful darker cherry and mulberry fruits, medium body, ripe, nicely integrated tannins, and some classic herbal, earthy, spicy nuances. It's impeccably made and thoroughly enjoyable. It should drink well for 4-5 years.
