Wine Enthusiast – Steve Heimoff May 2009 (2007 vintage)
“This is a sort of second tier wine from Talbott. It’s a strongly flavored Chardonnay and extremely ripe, with pineapple jam, apricot-infused crème brûlée and sweet vanilla butterscotch flavors. But for all the richness, it’scrisp and bone dry”.

Kali Hart Pinot Noir
Vibrant and bright, Kali Hart Pinot Noir is a layered, fruit-driven wine that finds it character from an artful blend of elite Pommard and Dijon new clone fruit from Talbott’s River Road Vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands. The fruit for Kali Hart is hand-sorted, pressed, and put through extended maceration, before spending several months in seasoned French oak. Crafted in a style for earlier release than Talbott’s other Pinot Noirs, Kali Hart offers lush fruit and lively acidity, with signature floral aromatics and cherry flavors. Made in a balanced, yet concentrated style, Kali Hart Pinot Noir is crafted to be enjoyed in its youth.

“Made by Robert Talbott and named after the owner/winemaker’s
youngest daughter, this charmer offers pretty red
fruit aromas enhanced by French oak and Asian spice. Lots
to like at this price, with a pedigree of a single estate vineyard
in the Santa Lucia Highlands not mentioned on the label.”
