Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Walt / Sonoma County
Is it just a simple, delicious drink-me-now Pinot? Or is it actually complex and worthy of pairing with the best foods? It’s both. Front-loaded with raspberry purée, smoked butter and oak flavors, it has subtle layers of mushroom and dried pine that lift it into an ethereal place. Who cares if it will age? It’s drop-dead gorgeous now. Char-broiled salmon could be your best pairing.
