Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The 2019 La Brisa opens with ample cherry, strawberry, and cranberry flavors accented with dried herbs and tea. The rich texture and fine tannins are complemented by cool-climate acidity and whole cluster complexity. Toasty barrel notes carry through a savory finish.

Professional Ratings

    The 2019 Pinot Noir La Brisa hails from the Sonoma Coast and has a rich, ripe, sexy style that still shows elegance and purity as well as complexity. Lots of black raspberry and mulberry fruit emerge from this medium to full-bodied effort, which has plenty of bouquet garni and spice-laced aromatics, ripe, soft tannins, and a great finish. It brings lots of fruit in a balanced, textured, incredibly satisfying package.

    COMMENTARY: The 2019 Walt La Brisa Pinot Noir is wild and beautiful. TASTING NOTES: This wine excels with aromas and flavors of vibrant red fruit, some black fruits, and a hint of spice. Try it with pork adobo. (Tasted: June 22, 2022, San Francisco, CA)
  • 92
    A woodsy aroma leads to well-spiced flavors of chocolate brioche and dark plum tart, ending with concentrated toastiness on the long, juicy finish.
  • 92
    Juicy, lush and posh in style, this substantial red is well-integrated in firm tannin and toasted oak, succulently rich and rewarding in red berry and cherry. Dried herb, forest and a thread of underlying acidity keep it interesting.

The Sonoma Coast AVA is large in area but, not counting overlapping regions like Russian River Valley, only has a few thousand acres of grapevines—and it’s no wonder. Much of the region is rugged and not easily accessible. Its proximity to the Pacific Ocean’s fog and cool breezes limits the varieties that can be cultivated, but it proves to be an ideal environment for high quality Pinot Noir.

Since fog is a frequent fact of life here, as are heavy marine layers that sometimes bring rain, the best vineyards are wisely planted above the fog line, on picturesque ridges that capture enough sun to provide even ripening. That, with the overnight drop in temperature that reliably preserves acidity, results in fine expressions of Pinot Noir that often receive tremendous critic and consumer praise alike, and are often in high demand.
