Talbott

Kali Hart Pinot Noir

What a great find: a robust California pinot with finesse and style. This has all the hallmarks of new world Pinots, with a nice brushy nose, rich red fruit taste, and depth to balance a food-friendly acidity and brightness. Go roast some salmon and enjoy! — 2 months ago

Sea Smoke

Southing Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir 2015

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a Sea Smoke and for good reason. Well made for sure just too over the top for me now — 21 days ago

PS Santa Barbara County Syrah 2016

One of the best new world syrahs I’ve ever had. Old world savory stem, peppercorn and violets with the amplifier cranked up by a notch or two on the ripe, glossy blackberry and raspberry fruit component. Abundant freshness and tannic structure to frame the opulent fruit — a month ago

Man, I have had mind blowing wines from them and really mediocre wines. Glad you found a good one!
