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.

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)
