Deep ruby-purple color. Nose and flavors highlighted by cherry/blueberry fruit on top of an overt earthy/herbal background reminiscent of wet underbrush. Nice richness in the mouth and totally drinkable; just not my favorite Walt wine. I didn't find it as enjoyable as the generic, less expensive Sta. Rita Hills bottling tasted a few days earlier. - HK 2026-02-28
