90 Points 2008 Talbott Chardonnay, Kali Hart

“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

"3 out of 4 stars" 2007 Talbott Chardonnay Logan

3 out of 4 Stars

Excellent - Top-notch of its type

“Created as a less expensive alternative to Talbott's signature Chardonnay, Logan has a fruit-forward style, with apple, pear and apricot notes. And like its sibling, it boasts a long, plush finish.” - Anthony Giglio Food & Wine - 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
