Walson Holland Pinot Noir Duvarita 2019
This ultra-polished, velvety smooth Pinot is guaranteed to dazzle fans of California’s rarest {think Sea Smoke or Kistler} as well as Burgundy from top vintages. Offering up alluring aromas of wild strawberry, mint tea and baking spices. This boutique gem expresses a sensational intensity of fruit flavors including raspberries, strawberries plus exotic spices and a creamy vanilla finish reminiscent of much pricier Pinots. This is a sumptuous and lively effort that will be a pleasure to savor now through 2029. Highly recommend.
