La Grande Année Brut Chardonnay - Pinot Noir Rosé Blend 1990

The label was in absolute tatters but all other signs appeared to be good with this bottle. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 1990 Grand Année Rosé pours a deep coral color with very little mousse that dissipates in the glass quickly. On the nose, this was funky initially so we tossed it in the decanter which freshened it up. After 30min, it was positively singing! Desiccated strawberry, crème brûlée, pink flowers, and fino sherry. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. This showed remarkable power which was so impressive. I can’t say I’ve ever had a Rosé with quite this amount of age but boy did it ever work. If anyone has any of these laying around; I might suggest giving it a splash in the decanter for 30min first. Drink now. — 4 hours ago

Talley Vineyards

Rosemary's Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022

Ruby in color with a very wide reddish rim, and medium plus intensity.

Stinky nose (in a good way) that reminds me of Northern Rhône.

Medium bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, currants, light oak, tobacco leaf, herbs, spices, dark chocolates, barnyard, bitter herbs, light vegetables, earth, black tea, and black pepper.

Long finish with fine-grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This young Pinot Noir from California is already drinking beautifully. Elegant and interesting. Fruit forward with a touch of Burgundy in style.

Well balanced with nice complexity, and a great mouthfeel.

Needs 90 minutes in the decanter to open up properly, so be patient.

The nose feels like Northern Rhône, while the palate feels like Burgundy. What an interesting Pinot Noir.

This Single Vineyard Pinot will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.

Good by itself or with food. A delicious sipping wine that I paired with cheeses and crackers.

100% Pinot Noir grapes were aged in (40% new) French Oak barrels for 16 months. Unfiltered, unfined and vegan. A small production of 7,350 bottles.

14% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$95.
