This epic Cali Pinot Noir offers a distinct earthiness, and minerality with hints of nutmeg and clove mingling with notes of ripe black cherry, raspberry, and vanilla bean to deliver a rich, mouth-filling texture through to a complex finish. The grapes underwent open-top fermentation with selected yeasts at controlled temperatures. During vinification, twice daily punch-downs took place for optimal and elegant extraction. The wine was matured for 11 months in French oak barrels, of which 40% were new oak.
Talbott Vineyards crafts estate-grown Chardonnay and Pinot Noir into exquisite coastal wines from the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA. In 1950, Robert Talbott, founder of a luxury silk tie company, was introduced to and fell in love with the fine wines of France. He dreamt of using the Burgundian techniques he had become passionate about, to one day make his own Californian wines. Meanwhile, in 1972, the legendary Sleepy Hollow Vineyard was planted for the first time in the cool-climate region of the Santa Lucia Highlands. In 1982, Robert together with his son, Robb, realised his dream and launched Talbott Vineyards. In 1994, they acquired the Sleepy Hollow Vineyard to become an all-estate winery.
