"Wine of the Week" 2008 Talbott Chardonnay, Sleepy Hollow Vineyard

“The 2008 Sleepy Hollow Chardonnay is a bright, full-bodied, American-Style wine. On the nose it offers tropical notes with hints of toasted oak and vanilla. Stone fruit and guava dominate on the palate with racy, citrus acidity and hazelnut at the back of the palate. Its robust quality makes it well suited to hearty poultry dishes from garlic roast chicken to duck a l’orange to turkey with all the trimmings. Or try with vegetarian foods like asparagus with hollandaise wild mushroom risotto or a simple, ripe brie cheese.” Gayot.com

"Quite a Finish" 2009 Talbott Chardonnay, Kali Hart

“Another consistent high-end operation is Talbott Vineyards down in Monterey, and I'm loving Talbott Vineyards Kali Hart Chardonnay 2009. It's got quite a finish for the under-$20 category, offering lots of melony appeal. (I'm picturing it alongside a melon and ricotta salad, in fact.)” Ted Loos Epicurious.com

"The Best Pinot Noir Yet From Talbott" 2008 Talbott Pinot Noir, Sleepy Hollow Vineyard

“The spectacular 2008 Talbott Sleepy Hollow Pinot Noir is a real beauty. The best pinot noir yet from Talbott, it has expansive notes of ripe black cherry, blueberry, and spice, with just a hint of earth. It shows just how lovely Santa Lucia Highlands pinot noir can be and is silky, smooth, and rich. It pairs wonderfully with roasted duck.” Adam Zack Palm Springs Life
