Rancho Arroyo Grande

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.

Les Galets Arroyo Grande Valley Pinot Noir

Wonderfully perfumed and rich eight year-old Central Coast Pinot Noir, with fruit, acid, tannins and earth in harmonious balance. Got better as the night went on, and the leftover half bottle the next day was great—soft and approachable yet complex and delicious interesting. Rather Old World, I would say. Enjoyed the 2014 vintage with Livarot cheese and an artisanal country loaf. Magnifique! — 3 years ago
