2024 White Walnut Dundee Hills Pinot Noir

Displaying a luminous medium-ruby core framed by a vivid neon-pink rim, the 2024 White Walnut Pinot Noir from the Dundee Hills opens with compelling aromatics of ripe Bing cherry, wild strawberry, and freshly ground black pepper. Crafted with partial stem inclusion and traditional foot treading, the wine undergoes minimal new oak contact during twelve months of aging, followed by a final month in concrete before bottling. On the palate, it comes across as medium-plus to full-bodied, where savory cedary herbs integrate with structured, present tannins and a vibrant line of moderate-plus acidity. The primary cherry and pepper elements carry through with precision to a remarkably long, lifted finish.
