Walt Wines to Host Bob’s Ranch Release Party “Home Edition” on Friday, August 7 

Walt WinesHELENA, CA (JULY 27, 2020) – Luxury wine producer, WALT Wines, has announced plans to host its annual Bob’s Ranch Release Party in a virtual “Home Edition” format this year, in response to the Coronavirus pandemic affecting in person events nationwide. The Release Party: Home Edition aims to celebrate the release of WALT’s flagship wine, Bob’s Ranch Pinot Noir, sourced from Sonoma County, California. 

“Every year our Club Members and Pinot fans alike celebrate the release of Bob’s Ranch,” says WALT General Manager Jeff Zappelli. “The energy that the event creates when we release each vintage is incredible – we look forward to celebrating this wine with a special Home Edition format for the main event and more intimately in the afterparty that is exclusively for our Club Members.” 

The 2018 vintage of the Bob’s Ranch Pinot Noir wine exudes an earthy essence which further reveals the Sonoma County vineyard site’s unique characteristics. A touch of whole cluster fermentation enhances the savory character of the wine, and fermentation in concrete tanks bring out minerality and freshness. On the nose, fine aromas of fermented black tea and tilled soil while dark plum and blackberry flavors are layered on the seamless, plush palate while inviting a long finish.
