92 Points 2008 Talbott Chardonnay, Logan
“This is the most impressive lineup of wines I have seen from Talbott in a number of years. Their less expensive second label is a noteworthy value. The 2008 Chardonnay Logan (a selection from the Sleepy Hollow Vineyard) is a slightly fruitier, more structured style of Chardonnay from Talbott. Light straw-colored, the wine displays notes of nectarine, kiwi, orange marmalade, honey, and subtle oak. Cutting a broad swath across the palate, it is full-bodied, rich, and impressively endowed. It is the best Talbott Chardonnay in a number of years.” Robert Parker - Click here

Permalink87 Points 2009 Talbott Chardonnay, Kali Hart
“This is the most impressive lineup of wines I have seen from Talbott in a number of years. Their less expensive second label is a noteworthy value. Take, for example, the 2008 Chardonnay Kali Hart. It displays loads of poached pear, pineapple, and honey in an impressively perfumed bouquet. In the mouth, it is soft, fleshy, and medium-bodied, with just enough acidity to give it balance. It is a fruity, consumer-friendly style of Chardonnay to drink over the next year.” Robert Parker - Click here
Aug 2, 2010 at 2:18 PM91 Points 2008 Talbott Chardonnay, Sleepy Hollow Vineyard
“This is the most impressive lineup of wines I have seen from Talbott in a number of years. From their estate vineyards, the 2008 Chardonnay Sleepy Hollow Vineyard has a beautiful nose of honeysuckle, tropical fruit, and other assorted floral notes. Light straw-colored, it possesses full-bodied richness, good acidity, and some subtle underlying minerality. This is a beautiful Chardonnay to drink over the next 3-4 years.” Robert Parker - Click here

“Year after year, this continues to be one of the most outstanding Chardonnays in California. When I recently tasted the 2008 it seemed particularly, and enticingly, floral. I found myself fantasizing over my glass that if you could put all your favorite fragrant flowers into a blender and then magically distill the essence of their mingled perfume, the result would be the enchanting aromatics of this Sleepy Hollow Chard. But the intense bouquet is just the beginning. There is also the voluptuous body, and the rich flavors which capture the fundamental nature of peaches and nectarines, pears, nuts, lemon peel. And then, despite so much richness on the palate, the wine finishes clean and very dry.” Marguerite Thomas Wine Review Online - Click here
Jun 22, 2010 at 6:49 PM"Palate-Pleaser With a Fairly Rich Body.” 2007 Talbott Chardonnay Sleepy Hollow Vineyard
“But for those who crave a fat, mouth-filling style of Chardonnay, this wine from Monterey County’s Talbott Vineyards will do you right at a good price. The nose is full of apple and pear, and thankfully, it’s light on the butter-bomb aromatics. Flavors of tropical fruit and a hint of minerality make this an easy palate-pleaser with a fairly rich body.” - Chris Macias Sacramento Bee - Click here

“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

“Super ripe and rich in tropical fruit, pineapple, kiwi and golden mango flavors, with additional notes of buttered toast and caramel. Fortunately, crisp Monterey acidity provides a brisk, clean finish.” Steve Heimoff Wine Enthusiast - Click here
Dec 31, 2009 at 2:37 PM"Well Balanced, Structured, and Integrated.” 2007 Logan Chardonnay
“The 2007 Logan Chardonnay was barrel fermented in French oak, 20% new, and aged sur lie with monthly bâtonnage for eleven months in the same oak. Smoky aromas introduce flavors of smoke, spice, sweet green apple, and lemon plus light oak at the back. It finishes long and medium-broad. Well balanced, structured, and integrated.” - Harold J.
