Walt 2012 Rita’s Crown Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / California
Variety: Pinot Noir
Winery: Walt / Rita’s Crown

This Pinot Noir project from the Napa Valley’s Hall family starts with dense and inky core aromas of ripe raspberry and black tea, with a touch of vanilla. Once sipped, the flavors verge toward black cherry and blackberry, with very liqueur-like chocolate and a pronounced and lasting spice element.
