Winemaking Notes: Talbott's signature Pinot Noir crafted from a selection of our finest blocks from our renowned Sleepy Hollow Vineyard located in the Santa Lucia Highlands of California. This wine is produced using half old-vine (planted in 1972) Martini clone Pinot Noir grapes and Dijon clone Pinot Noir grapes (ranging in age 15-20 years). Barrel aged 10 months in French oak, 30% new.
Tasting Notes: Full bodied, rich texture with flavors of Bing cherry and red plum leading to a long finish with vanilla oak and lively acidity.

Robert Talbott Vineyards 2012 Pinot Noir, Sleepy Hollow Vineyard, Santa Lucia Highlands
Rating: 90
Brilliant ruby-red. Ripe cherry and black raspberry on the fragrant, smoke-tinged nose. Sappy and expansive, offering gently sweet dark berry flavors that are sharpened by peppery spice and orange pith nuances. Shows good energy and a seamless character on the gently tannic finish, which clings with very good tenacity and subtle spiciness.
