"For the Fans of the Ripe Style of Pinot Noir" 2008 Talbott Pinot Noir, Logan
“Deeply colored. The cherry fruits have a very ripe, roasted quality adding scents of plum pudding, berry jam and marzipan. The overripe fruit core is clothed in soft tannins making for a velvety mouth feel. I suspect the Brix was high at harvest and the wine was apparently not watered back. For fans of the ripe style of Pinot Noir.” Rusty Gaffney Pinotfile

Permalink2008 Talbott Pinot Noir, Cuvée Sarah Case
“Named in honor of Robert Talbott’s eldest daughter Sarah Case Talbott. This is the inaugural release of this Pinot Noir from the Sleepy Hollow Vineyard. Two Dijon clones from prized blocks of 10 to 15-year-old vines. Aged 12 months in 100% new French oak barrels and bottle aged for an additional 6 months. Deep, dark reddish-purple color in the glass. Unusual but nuanced aromatics showing scents of dark chocolate, soy, cut flowers and lacquered wood. Moderately rich core of plum and cassis flavors pushing ripeness, robed in firm but caressing tannins, and displaying some persistence on the finish that leaves a little heat in its wake.” Rusty Gaffney PinotFile

“Made by Robert Talbott Vineyards, this wine was named for Robb Talbott’s youngest daughter. Though Talbott makes pricier Chards than this one, the Kali Hart is my favorite, because it’s consistently well made and well priced. It has aromas of bright tropical fruit and pineapple, along with melon and tropical fruit flavors. It has zippy acidity and minimal oak character.” Tina Caputo Wine Review Online - Click here

Dec 31, 2009 at 2:37 PM"A Bright Pinot Noir" 2008 Talbott Pinot Noir, Logan
“A bright Pinot Noir, with a bold accent of minerals, its nose offers aromas of black cherry and plum along with notes of hickory smoked bacon. The cherry and plum return on the palate and move into notes of cola with hints of cinnamon. The wine finishes with the zest of minerals. Those who enjoy a Pinot with pzazz over silky smooth ought to give this bottle a try.” Jason Barlow Food & Beverage World - Click here

“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

“This is medium bodied and toes a fine line between maintaining a lighter, fresher, fruity character while delivering more typical flavors such as the medium length finish with it’s touch of butterscotch.” Gregory Dal Piaz Snooth.com
