The Wine Palate, Lisa Perotti-Brown
"The 2023 Bob's Ranch Pinot Noir is WALT's flagship wine. Medium ruby-purple in color, it needs a little coaxing to bring out notes of black cherries and boysenberries with nuances of anise, bay leaves, and iris bulb. The full-bodied palate is highly structured with firm fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and fragrant."
96 Points | Top 100 | Owen Bargreen
"...On the nose this takes on layers of cola and crushed wildflowers alongside bergamot, black cherry compote and suggestions of wild blackberry. The palate is refined and elegant with plenty of depth and black truffle shavings. Deep, concentrated and loaded with finesse, enjoy now and over the next fifteen plus years."
92 Points | Wine Enthusiast, Tom Capo
"Focused aromas of dark cherry, raspberry and spice mingle on the nose of this Pinot. The palate is nimble and energetic, with flavors of freshly crushed Bing cherry, Darjeeling, cinnamon and orange peel that resonate along the finish."

Vintage NotesRemarkably cool and late, the 2023 vintage produced wines of singular character and quality. The winter season started wet, with record rainstorms and mountaintop snowfall, leaving aquifers full and vines healthy. A cool spring indicated the later harvest to come, with a late start to budbreak and a long flowering period on the vines that was accompanied by wildflower super blooms. Through mild summer temperatures the vines set an ample crop load with strong canopy growth. After patient waiting and long hangtimes, warm weather came at just the right moment in fall to push ripeness to completion, resulting in wines that are deep, vital, and age worthy.
