2021 Talbott Kali Hart Pinot Noir [WE93][JS92]

Producer: Talbott Vineyards  Region: Monterey, Central Coast, California Varietal: Pinot Noir  Year: 2021   Wine Enthusiast, 93 Points  "This is one of the most reliably delicious while-affordable Pinot Noirs in California. Bright but concentrated aromas of strawberry cream, singed sage and crushed rock kick off the nose. The palate is satisfyingly rich with baked cherry and pecan pie flavors, yet tense in texture and zippy in acidity. *Editors’ Choice*"  James Suckling, 92 Points "A soft and juicy pinot noir with dried strawberry, orange peel and dried mushroom character with some dust. Medium body. Round tannins and a juicy finish. Drink or hold."  Winemaker Notes:  "Kali Hart Pinot Noir is a fruit-forward expression of our coastal-influenced vineyards in Santa Lucia Highlands, California. Aromas of dark plum and Bing cherry greet the nose with inviting notes of allspice and toasted vanilla. Silky tannins reveal layers of strawberry-rhubarb and blackberry with a hint of dried herbs.
