"Rank with California’s Best" 2008 Talbott Chardonnay, Diamond T Vineyard

“Carmel Heller, Talbott and Bernardus wineries rank with California’s best. California’s Monterey County is spectacular in summer, yet it retains its appeal well into November and the end of grape harvest...All three producers make exemplary wine, yet it is interesting to note how they follow different routes.”

2008 Talbott Chardonnay, Diamond T Vineyard

“Corton-Charlemagne clones hand picked from a seven-acre parcel of steep, chalky, cool climate vineyard highlight apple, vanilla, butter and citrus with a lengthy flavor profile.” Ray and Eleanor Heald - Quarterly Review of Wines - Click here

91 Points 2005 Diamond T Chardonnay

““Bright gold. Sexy, oak-spiced pear and melon aromas are complicated by vanilla bean and blond tobacco. Lush and creamy, with poached pear and honeydew flavors and an undertone of smoky baking spices. A bitter peach pit note adds bite to the long, sappy finish. This is already very inviting.”” - Josh Raynolds International Wine Cellar - Click here
