Talbott Vineyards Pinot Noir Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands 2021

93 Points Wine Spectator-California - Monterey - Santa Lucia Highlands - "Leads with mulled cherry and plum notes, with hints of warm licorice and fruitcake, plus red tea filling in on the finish. Reveals fresh underlying acidity that extends the finish nicely."

It offers elegant, fresh aromas of cola, black cherry and blackberry along with richer notes of vanilla and subtle spices. On the rich palate, savory notes of black cherry, vanilla, clove and nutmeg meld with raspberry and plum flavors for a soft, mouth-filling texture. Rich, elegant and luxurious, this Pinot Noir has vibrant acidity to complement a satiny smooth finish with a delightful touch of well-heeled tannins, cinnamon, vanilla and hard spices. 100% estate-grown Pinot Noir from Santa Lucia Highlands.
