Talley Vineyards Description
The signature white wine of Talley Vineyards, the Estate Chardonnay, represents a pure expression of the calcareous soils and cool maritime climate of Arroyo Grande and Edna valleys, produced in a classic old world style, incorporating barrel fermentation and aging. This bottling dates to the inaugural vintage of 1986 and was the first Chardonnay produced in the Arroyo Grande Valley.
Aged for 11 months in 20% new French oak barrels, aromas of Asian pear, peach nectar, lemon rind, citrus blossom with flavors of Golden Delicious apple, crushed rocks, pear, flint, caramel with a refreshingly complex finish.
Jeb Dunnuck: 90 Points
The 2021 Chardonnay Estate is terrific, with ripe tangerine and citrus notes as well as minty herb, flowers, and a touch of chalky minerality. It's nicely balanced, has good mid-palate depth, medium body, and a lengthy finish. It would be a great introduction to the quality and style of this notable estate.
