Rosemary's Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022

Ruby in color with a very wide reddish rim, and medium plus intensity.

Stinky nose (in a good way) that reminds me of Northern Rhône.

Medium bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, currants, light oak, tobacco leaf, herbs, spices, dark chocolates, barnyard, bitter herbs, light vegetables, earth, black tea, and black pepper.

Long finish with fine-grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This young Pinot Noir from California is already drinking beautifully. Elegant and interesting. Fruit forward with a touch of Burgundy in style.

Well balanced with nice complexity, and a great mouthfeel.

Needs 90 minutes in the decanter to open up properly, so be patient.

The nose feels like Northern Rhône, while the palate feels like Burgundy. What an interesting Pinot Noir.

This Single Vineyard Pinot will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.

Good by itself or with food. A delicious sipping wine that I paired with cheeses and crackers.

100% Pinot Noir grapes were aged in (40% new) French Oak barrels for 16 months. Unfiltered, unfined and vegan. A small production of 7,350 bottles.

14% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Bishop's Peak

Talley Vineyards Pinot Noir 2022

OH SO good. And for a very reasonable price in the 20’s. A spicy rendition, showing clove, white pepper and black tea on the nose (on top of to-be-expected-but-not-unwanted) of ripe red cherry. The palate brings in more green notes, contrasting the ripe fruit and fruitcake spices, but the acid is vibrant, and the tannins are scarcely there—this is a smooth, smooth glass of goodness. — 5 months ago
