89 Points 2008 Talbott Chardonnay, Kali Hart
“If you like big California Chardonnays, this one is good value. It's rich but not cloying, a toasty wine with notes of lemon, banana, apricot and earth.” Blake Gray Wine Review Online

Permalink88 Points 2008 Talbott Pinot Noir, 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. The 2008 Pinot Noir Kali Hart has a medium ruby color and a big, smoky, spicy nose with plenty of mulberry and black cherry fruit. Almost Burgundian in its aromatics, the wine is medium-bodied, pure, and nicely textured. This is a delicious, well-made Pinot Noir to drink over the next 2-4 years.” Robert Parker - Click here

“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

“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 1, 2009 at 2:39 PM"Reliable, Balanced, Fruity" 2008 Talbott Chardonnay, Kali Hart
“Among the agreeable white wines that fit into the festivities is the reliable, balanced, fruity 2008 Kali Hart Chardonnay.” Peter Gianotti Newsday

“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
