Incredibly balanced blend of fruit, oak, and earth. Terroir driven flavors — concentrated black currant flavor and a velvety finish.

Walt pinot noir once again delivers with this Rita’s Crown. I enjoyed their blue jay Pinot as well, but this one really takes the cake. Such a full bouquet with rich fruit flavor, spice, and a long delicious finish. Right from when you pour it into the decanter you can tell from the aroma and deep ruby color that you are in for a treat.

One of the best New world pinots I’ve ever had. On the bigger side but incredibly well balanced.
