“ At its heart, my music, country music, is a celebration of the people that make up this great country. Music offers the building and strengthening of friendship through experiences and storytelling that creates everlasting memories. Like music, wine brings people closer. The Walker family has a tradition of sharing these special moments each evening at sunset. We invite you into that tradition with our Oregon Pinot Noir that is full of bright red fruits, spice and earthy flavors highlighted by bold acidity and structure. Enjoy with good food and conversation. Cheers!” -Clay Walker”
