The simply mesmerizing 2024 WALT ‘Bob’s Ranch’ Pinot Noir has an insanely complex and dense nose with dark truffle shavings, blackberry compote, black cherry and hints of forest floor. The palate is dense and layered with serious underlying verve and flavor density. Great ready for loads of mouth-watering acidity. The finish just won’t stop. Enjoy this otherworldly Pinot Noir now and over the next fifteen years to come.

International Wine Report, Jeremy Young
The 2024 Walt Bob's Ranch Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast, is a deeply evocative and sophisticated expression that captures the structural intensity of this signature estate site. It presents an alluring aromatic profile of black cherry and marionberry, which are beautifully integrated with nuances of toasted tea leaves, vanilla bean, and cedary herbs. The palate is defined by a plush, concentrated density that remains remarkably fluid, layering wild raspberry flavors over a foundation of fine-grained, supple tannins. Exceptional freshness provides a vibrant counterpoint to the wine's natural richness, driving the fruit through a long and resonant finish. This is a polished and authoritative bottling that balances its darker fruit core with effortless refinement.

Tasting notes

Aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and dark plum unfold alongside notes of black tea, wet stone, and refined barrel smoke. Richly textured yet poised, the palate balances dark fruit depth with freshness and precision. Layers of savory complexity and finely integrated tannins carry through the long, resonant finish.

Vintage Notes

The 2024 vintage began with much needed winter rainfall that revitalized the soil and set the stage for healthy vine growth, and a balanced crop. Summer was marked by mostly moderate temperatures with a brief burst of warmtharound Labor Day, where well-developed canopies shielded the fruit from excess heat. As harvest approached, mild daytime temperatures and cool nights arrived, allowing for steady ripening into September. The resulting wines showcase beautiful color and depth, with precise acidity, rich texture, and concentrated flavors.
