WALT Wines La Brisa Pinot Noir is a Sonoma Coast expression crafted from a blend of premier vineyard sites including Bob's Ranch Estate, Gap's Crown, and Calesa. "La Brisa," Spanish for "The Breeze," pays homage to the cooling coastal winds that shape the character of these prized Sonoma Coast vineyards. The diverse combination of vineyard sites and clonal variation—featuring both Dijon and heritage Pinot Noir clones—creates a complex, fruit-forward wine.

This 100% Pinot Noir showcases vibrant cherry, strawberry, and mulberry flavors accented by toasted spice and dried herb notes. The plush texture and forward fruit are balanced by cool-climate acidity and a subtle oak influence, with a fresh, savory finish featuring smooth tannins and lingering black tea nuances. The wine is aged 10 months in 35% new French oak barrels, contributing structure without overwhelming the delicate varietal character.

Grown in the Sonoma Coast appellation, the vineyards benefit from heavy fog and strong winds tempered by bright afternoon sunshine, with Cotati fine loam and loam soils with rock. These conditions develop grapes with the vibrant, balanced acidity that defines the appellation's character.
