Talbott
Kali Hart Pinot Noir
Monterey, Central Coast, California, USA
Tonight’s actual quaranwine! If you aren’t wearing the same shirt you have all week/haven’t gained five stress-baking pounds you aren’t doing quarantine right. Also, ignoring this particular wine would be silly as it is reliable (needed in these times), scrumptious (needed always because yummy things make happy people) and yeah, I am a fan of Talbott’s work. You know those black and white pictures you see that if you look at one moment you see one thing and the next moment another? I feel like this wine is if paying attention to fruit—rich and heady! Then you think of acid, tannins and body and see something else. And all of that keeps you going through the glass. I’ve been lucky enough to have Talbott wines sent to me (yes this was a free sample but if you saw how many samples DIDN’T get written about...) and I feel lucky to be able to say both this and their Chardonnay have been dependably punching above their weight, price-wise. Yum. C’est tout. Ce soir.

A delightful and fruit forward Pinot Noir, perfect for relaxing at the end of a long day or with a tasty takeout dinner!

So smooth with a hint of sweetness...barely any bite. Really good Pinot

Oct 4th, 2020Easy to drink and enjoyable. Medium to full bodied, medium to medium-low acidity, well-rounded; notes of sea salt, pine; finish of fruit.

Not your typical Pinot. Getting raspberries up front, and earthy/smoke flavors. Acid calms down after a bit. Decent value.
