Beautifully clear gold color. On the nose delightful lemon aromas. Early on thought acidity was low but as it aired lovely acidity developed as did the grape flavors. Very fine wine from south of San Francisco. I have to agree Rosemary’s challenges the California Chardonnay top tier. A very delightful and delicious wine. — 4 days ago

First of two bottles from tried and true wineries, and Talley held its own. Velvety on the tongue, it has perfectly aged stone fruits and mellow spices. Wonderful start to finish. — 7 months ago

Talley’s entry-level Pinot Noir is a beauty in 2018. Well-concentrated and chewy in texture, it offers energetic cherry and redcurrant flavors, suave florality and an intriguing, earthy touch roasted beets. There’s distinct Old World character to this complex Pinot. $24.00 (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, November 2020) — 5 months ago

An enjoyable bottle with swordfish and lamb on the grill. Cherries were the dominant fruit, but the spices and minerals softened everything, resulting in a beautiful bottle. — 2 months ago
