“Premium Pinot Found in California” 2008 Talbott Pinot Noir, Kali Hart
“Although Burgundy has long been the benchmark for world-class point noir and Oregon is now, many knowledgeable wine consumers know that California can produce pinot that rivals and even exceeds both. It’s Santa Lucia Highlands overlooking the Salinas Valley that has emerged as prime pinot country, producing some of the state’s most dramatic and sought-after wines.” Rich Mauro The Colorado Gazette
92 Points 2008 Talbott Chardonnay, Sleepy Hollow Vineyard
“Never a wine that falls short on full and outgoing expression, this latest version of Talbott's flagship effort boasts a dramatic yet mannerly blending of creamy, toasty oak with roasted lemons and a very solid background of brisk apple scents. Its fullness on the palate is unmistakable but so too is its great depth and polish, and if its distinct fruit is less than frontal, it is not without plenty of length and staying power. Some will find it drinkable now. We would prefer to wait a year or two for added layering to develop.” Charles Olken Connoisseurs’ Guide to California Wine
Amazing 2008 Talbott Pinot Noir, Kali Hart
“ This highly exuberant, vibrant Pinot Noir displays extroverted red and blue fruits, brown spices, and toasty oak. Vanilla, cinnamon and just a hint of white pepper alongside elements of cola, sandalwood and red tea leaf lend to its surprising complexity.” - Kevin Keith Under the Grape Tree - Click here
Amazing 2008 Talbott Chardonnay, Sleepy Hollow Vineyard
“100% barrel fermentation gives this layers of rich, creamy stone and tropical fruits, baking spices, fresh-baked brioche and roasted hazelnuts. It is dense and complex with a long, generous finish.” - Kevin Keith Under the Grape Tree - Click here
Outstanding+ 2008 Talbott Chardonnay, Logan
“Well-made medium-bodied Chardonnay with elements of pineapple, guava, toasty oak, vanilla custard and baked apples. Fermented primarily in French oak barrels, there are gorgeous undertones of nutmeg, allspice and pear tart.” - Kevin Keith Under the Grape Tree - Click here
“Pinot Still Peaking After All These Years” 2008 Talbott Pinot Noir, Kali Hart
“A muscle−y push−back in texture, and meaty flavor that reminds this palate of Burgundy, all assuaged with pure California−ripened cherry and mulberry flavor.” Mary Ross Illinois Daily Herald - Click here
"Clean and Balanced" 2008 Talbott Pinot Noir, Kali Hart
“Lighter in color than the other Pinot Noir from Talbott, this one expresses a garnet or burgundy hue in the glass. Earthiness dominates the palate, which is clean and balanced: Beginning with forest floor on the nose, and then cinnamon and nutmeg notes wrapped into juicy flavors of raspberries and black cherries.” Kristine Hansen SlashFood
91 Points 2008 Talbott Chardonnay, Sleepy Hollow Vineyard
“Bright yellow. A complex bouquet offers pineapple, white peach and jasmine, with hints of vanilla and butterscotch in the background. Fleshy pit and tropical fruit flavors provide very good palate coverage and pick up smokiness with air. Finishes with a refreshing bite of pear skin and with very good persistence.” Josh Raynolds International Wine Cellar - Click here
