Deep ruby. Dark berries, cola and woodsmoke on the powerfully scented nose. Fleshy and broad in the mouth, offering sweet black raspberry and mulberry flavors and a touch of bracing spiciness. Notes of vanilla and candied lavender come up on the finish, which clings with impressive tenacity and smooth, building tannins.

Easily the most impressive of the lineup, the 2011 Pinot Noir Sierra Mar Vineyard is a big, textured effort that defies the stereotype of the vintage. Offering up beautiful notes of raspberry, licorice, crushed berries and underlying floral notes, this medium to full-bodied beauty flows onto the palate with no hard edges, thrilling purity of fruit and fantastic length. Enjoy it over the coming 6-7 years. Drink now-2020. A relatively new project that was created in 2009, this is a serious lineup of high quality Pinot Noirs. Tel. (707) 933-4440; www.waltwines.com
