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)

Very young but promising based on the 2018 vintage. Great buy at <= $20

Very young and light. But still an enjoyable fruit forward wine. Lots if berry aromas. Minimum flavors and tannins from the oak. Slightly acidic finish.
