2017 Walker Station Vineyard Pinot Noir
Taut and linear with red currant, boysenberry, and a hint of crushed stone; vivid acidity and fine tannins frame a wine built for aging.

Wine Spectator
"Bright, open-textured and filled with intense minerality to the macerated cherry and crushed raspberry flavors. Hints of white pepper and dried thyme show on the delicate finish. Drink now through 2025. 165 cases made."

Introducing
Walker Station
Vineyard owner Harry Walker has grown wine grapes in Napa Valley, Knights Valley, Dry Creek Valley and Lodi since 1968. In 2001 he found an ideal site on an east-facing slope in a cool valley southwest of Forestville in Sonoma County. He planted 3.2 acres of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Now retired, Harry approached us about leasing his vineyard and we leapt at the opportunity to farm this little gem renowned for exquisite fruit. We have exclusive access to the grapes, and we vineyard designate both the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
