2013 Walt Pinot Noir Rita's Crown Sta. Rita Hills (750ml)

"90+ out of 100 - The darkest colored of the Pinot Noirs, the 2013 Pinot Noir Rita?s Crown Vineyard shows the darker fruit profile that's common with all of these Walt Wines releases. Offering lots of cassis, toasted spice, licorice, and dusty soil-like aromas and flavors, it's a big, structured, savory wine with solid mid-palate concentration. It needs short term cellaring but will drink nicely through 2023." - Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate
