Sipping Fine Wine

Located in the heart of Sonoma, WALT focuses on sourcing Pinot Noir fruit from premiere appellations. Ruby with aromas of red berry fruit, tea and herb spice notes. Aged for 10 months on French oak (45% new). On the palate an array or berry flavors with smoky cedar notes and light elegant spice. Fine tannins with an earthy grit, savory, lingering ending with earthy smoky notes. Very nice!

This may be our first bottle of Blue Jay that we did not enjoy. Not sure if it was the age but it did not have the flavors of a typical Blue Jay.

Dry Nice. First time tasting Blue Jay. I would buy again. Bright fruit, good acid and very balanced Andy about 30 mins.

No need to let open. Cherry. Dried pineapple. Good value.

On PnP ruby colored with crushed blueberries, flint, eucalyptus, and faint traces of tilled sod on the nose. On the palate bright acidity with Wuxiang powder, blackberry cobbler, and cherry tart. A delicious PN from a solid producer with plenty of know-how that shows. Served in a Zalto Burgundy stem.
