Named after her parents, Bob and Delores Walt, Kathryn set out to make something special at WALT Wines that stood apart from her Hall Wines in Napa. She tended the vineyards for over a decade when the brand first started, meticulously making sure every detail was taken care of. Now, things are a little different. With over a dozen vineyards in their impressive fleet, WALT showcases some of the finest American wine terroir from up and down the West Coast each vintage.
A mixture of predominantly Gap’s Crown and Bob’s Ranch fruit every year, the pure, red-fruited Sonoma Pinot Noir WALT makes with their La Brisa label is something truly special.
In the 2016 vintage, the team made a beautiful Pinot Noir from their Sonoma vineyards. Ruby to the rim, the La Brisa Pinot Noir opens with notes of crushed cherries, a hint of earth, rose petals, and red fruits and shows wild character. The mouth offers strong flavors of raspberry and cola, with a dash of tobacco on the finish. This is the best price in the

Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2016 Pinot Noir La Brisa gives up lovely notions of violets, chocolate box and rose hip tea over a core of pomegranate, black cherries and menthol. Medium to full-bodied, the palate reveals loads of perfumed black and red berry flavors, supported by plush tannnins and lovely freshness, finishing earthy.

“The 2018 Carema is a terrific introduction to these wines. Bright and airy in feel, the 2018 is laced with the essence of sweet candied cherry, game, licorice, tobacco, dried flowers and incense. In a nutshell, this is what Carema is all about. The 2018 is just a bit rustic and gamy, but it makes up for that with its personality and overall expression of the appellation.” -Antonio Galloni

“Another brilliant wine from this team is the 2019 Hermitage, which spent 26 months in 50% new French oak and 50% in once-used barrels. Its dense purple color is followed by a massive array of ripe blackberry and cassis fruits interwoven with notes of scorched earth, subtle smoke, beef blood, and crushed rock. It’s big, full-bodied, concentrated, and opulent, yet it has ultra-fine tannins and impeccable balance as well. It’s going to take a decade to shed its baby fat (it offers ample pleasure today) but should have 20-30 years of overall longevity.”
Chad’s 2020 McKinley Springs Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is drop dead gorgeous and actually makes zero sense at all at this price. Dark purple to the rim with aromas of black fruits, violets, creme de cassis and a hint of spice. On the palate, full-bodied, round and juicy with elegance and the gorgeous, pure fruit– red and black currants, blackberries and a touch of sweet tobacco. It’s a delicious bottle of Cab.

This is a historic estate that is one of the best and oldest in the region and arguably the first to bottle their own estate CDP. Their newly released 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape is a total gem – a seamless blend of mainly Grenache, Mourvedre and Syrah with a little Cinsault blended in. Wine Spectator called the wine, “silky” and elegant and Jeb Dunnuck took it up a step further when he declared the wine, “a big winner, with the vintage’s purity and elegance front and center” in his rave 94-point review.
