Walt Blue Jay Pinot Noir ‘23

From Anderson Valley's deep alluvial soils, this Pinot Noir displays a vibrant ruby core. The nose bursts with primary aromas of raspberry, pomegranate, and damp rose petals with subtle earthy undertones. The palate delivers immediate pleasure - flavors of wild strawberry, rhubarb, and candied violet dance across supple tannins with refreshing acidity (6.3 g/L TA) that earned 92-94 point scores. Aged 10 months in neutral oak, this 13.8% alcohol wine finishes with a stony persistence. Perfect for roasted salmon or mushroom risotto - the 2022 vintage shows Anderson Valley's signature bright fruit profile.
