This Week’s Wine Recommendation: 2008 Talbott Pinot Noir, Kali Hart

“Let me just speak plainly: This Pinot Noir is one of the best I’ve tasted. Talbott takes every flavor profile known to wine and stuffs it into the light body of a Pinot Noir. This quality is often not even found in a bottle twice this price.” Kris and Jill Barber The Wine Rogue - Click here

88 Points 2009 Talbott Pinot Noir, Logan

“Deep and intense on the nose with gently stemmy accents with smoky topnotes over wild blackberry and wild cherry fruit. Big and rich in the mouth with tons of sweet fruit. This is a bowl of mixed cherries in the mouth with nicely balanced acidity and a bed of finely-grained tannins for support. The mid-palate is fairly dark and certainly deep with a nice wood element on the finish...The alcohol is very well integrated with a touch of heat on the finish.” Gregory Dal Piaz Snooth.com - Click here

"The Best Pinot Noir Yet From Talbott" 2008 Talbott Pinot Noir, Sleepy Hollow Vineyard

“The spectacular 2008 Talbott Sleepy Hollow Pinot Noir is a real beauty. The best pinot noir yet from Talbott, it has expansive notes of ripe black cherry, blueberry, and spice, with just a hint of earth. It shows just how lovely Santa Lucia Highlands pinot noir can be and is silky, smooth, and rich. It pairs wonderfully with roasted duck.” Adam Zack Palm Springs Life
