Talbott Chardonnay Sleepy Hollow Vineyard 2021

Product description

Founded in 1982 by Robert Talbott this vineyard crafts luxurious, estate-grown Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in Monterey County’s prestigious Santa Lucia Highlands AVA. Talbott Vineyards is defined by its iconic Sleepy Hollow Vineyard, where conditions are ideal for exceptional, cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. 

Sandy, gravelly soils and a dramatic maritime influence increase hang time, producing a Chardonnay of intense varietal character, balanced acidity and rich flavor.

92 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Subtle aromas of lemon peel, Asian pear and honeysuckle draw the nose into this bottling from an iconic vineyard. A bright spritz of lime and a firm tension meet with underripe pineapple and sea salt on the palate.

90 Points - James Suckling

A rather dense and fruity chardonnay with lots of richness with yogurt, cooked apple and nuttiness. Full-bodied with lots of fruit and a straightforward finish. A little old school, but plenty going on for those of you who like full-throttled chards.
