On the palate, this walt wine pinot noir is smooth, silky, and mouthwatering, showcasing brambled strawberry, raspberry, and black cherry flavors. Notes of pink peppercorn, molasses, and dried herbs add a layered, sophisticated touch, while a hint of juicy plum and red tea rounds out the finish. A savory twist from the roasted stems during fermentation adds an extra dimension of depth, creating an integrated and balanced profile.

Vineyard & Winemaking The WALT Blue Jay Pinot Noir 2022 is crafted from a unique set of vineyards at ‘The Corner’ of Anderson Valley, specifically sourced from Anderson Creek and Donnelly Creek. The vineyards feature southern exposure, cobbled clay loam soils, and rock outcroppings, which, along with cool, steady winds from the Pacific Ocean, combine to produce fruit of great depth and character. The wine aged for 10 months in 35% new French oak barrels, adding a warm, plush, and elegant touch to the wine’s mouthfeel.
The 2022 vintage benefited from temperate weather with good vine growth, even after three years of drought. Early heavy rains resaturated the soils, and a warm harvest period ensured fruit-forward, vibrant flavors.
This walt pinot noir crafted by WALT Winery Napa embodies a full-bodied, expressive style that captures the best of Anderson Valley’s terroir. Its integration of dark fruits, barrel char, and loamy earth leads to a supple and intense finish. Whether you’re pairing it with grilled prawns or enjoying it on its own, this wine is a true reflection of the passion and expertise of the winemaking team.
For wine enthusiasts looking to add a unique, elegant Pinot Noir to their collection, purchasing from Famelounge-PS ensures club membership discounts, the best prices, and optimal shipping and storage.
