90 Points 2008 Talbott Chardonnay, Kali Hart

“Talbott’s second label is a force in its own right, for Kali Hart delivers exceptional value from one of the top vintners in the United States. The ‘08 Chardonnay exhibits admiral restraint considering the grapes are sourced from two of Central California’s top chardonnay vineyards, Sleepy Hollow and Diamond T. This vintage is firm and tight, showing minerality right up front, without diminishing the rich fruit character of the grapes from these two stored vineyards. Lemon custard and caramel aromas about, the palate is fresh with juicy acidity, and the long finish is pure Sleepy Hollow. Oh, and did I mention this is the second label?” Robert Whitely Wine Review Online
