2019 Walker Station Vineyard Pinot Noir
Lithe and aromatic with Bing cherry, red licorice, and coastal earth; bright natural acidity and sleek tannins give this wine impressive freshness and length.

"This pops nicely, with a burst of juicy plum and boysenberry notes, and is kept honest by racy acidity and a deeply buried savory hint. Light anise and apple wood accents underline the finish, which has good energy. Drink now through 2028. 185 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.
