WALT Pinot Noir 'La Brisa' (2019)

The 2019 La Brisa opens with ample cherry, strawberry, and cranberry flavors accented with dried herbs and tea. The rich texture and fine tannins are complemented by cool-climate acidity and whole cluster complexity. Toasty barrel notes carry through a savory finish.

Tasting Notes

93 Jeb Dunnuck
The 2019 Pinot Noir La Brisa hails from the Sonoma Coast and has a rich, ripe, sexy style that still shows elegance and purity as well as complexity. Lots of black raspberry and mulberry fruit emerge from this medium to full-bodied effort, which has plenty of bouquet garni and spice-laced aromatics, ripe, soft tannins, and a great finish. It brings lots of fruit in a balanced, textured, incredibly satisfying package.

The 2019 Walt La Brisa Pinot Noir is wild and beautiful. This wine excels with aromas and flavors of vibrant red fruit, some black fruits, and a hint of spice. Try it with pork adobo. (Tasted: June 22, 2022, San Francisco, CA)

92 Wine Spectator
A woodsy aroma leads to well-spiced flavors of chocolate brioche and dark plum tart, ending with concentrated toastiness on the long, juicy finish.

92 Wine Enthusiast
Juicy, lush and posh in style, this substantial red is well-integrated in firm tannin and toasted oak, succulently rich and rewarding in red berry and cherry. Dried herb, forest and a thread of underlying acidity keep it interesting.
