Talbott
Kali Hart Estate Grown Chardonnay
Monterey County, Central Coast, California, USA
Golden in color with a yellow tint.
Fruity nose of melons, citrus, lemons, apples, oak, vanilla and white pepper.
Full bodied, buttery and bold, with medium acidity and nice legs.
Dry on the palate with lemons, citrus, red apples, cream, butter, oak, vanilla, spices, herbs and white pepper.
Medium finish with bitter almonds.
This is an Oaky Chardonnay, and not too bitter with a creamy feel. Simple and buttery. A very typical California Chardonnay.
Not my style, but drinkable nonetheless.
Robert Parker 89 points. Wine Enthusiasts 88 points.
I paired it with heavy appetizers and seafood.
14.5% alcohol by volume.

The wife liked it. I found it quite citrusy, but it paired nicely with a risotto. Not to my taste. It's beautifully smooth though.

Creamy tropical CA Chardonnay with good balance of oak, vanilla and acid. Nose of lemons and toasted coconut. Little to no mineral taste but not on the other end of being big and flabby or overly sweet. Well balanced and a surprising find for $12 at Meijer

Butterscotch/caramel notes followed by baking spices, apple and pear. There’s a bit of lemon pith on the finish; the bitterness balancing everthing out.

Butter apples could be crisper, a pretty good wine.
