2015 Talbott "Sleepy Hollow Vineyard" Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir

SKU #1479079 92 points Jeb Dunnuck

Outer quote mark The 2015 Pinot Noir Sleepy Hollow Vineyard offers more baking spices as well as darker raspberry fruit, medium to full-bodied richness, good concentration, and just a bigger, richer feel than the Logan release. It has some present tannin as well and will be even better with another year or so in bottle. It's a terrific wine. Inner quote mark (10/2017)

92 points Vinous

Outer quote mark Bright ruby-red. Displays fragrant red and dark berry liqueur, incense and succulent floral scents, along with hints of candied flowers and woodsmoke that builds as the wine stretches out. Sweet and penetrating, offers intense cherry and black raspberry flavors that deepen and spread out slowly on the back half. Rich yet surprisingly lively as well, with strong finishing thrust, strong persistence and smooth, even tannins lending framework and gentle grip. (JR) Inner quote mark (11/2017)

91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2015 Pinot Noir Sleepy Hollow Vineyard has a nose of crushed raspberries, cranberries and forest floor with hints of potpourri and cinnamon stick. Medium-bodied with velvety tannins and lovely freshness, it has exuberant red berry flavors and a good long earth-laced finish. (LPB) Inner quote mark (9/2017)

Wine & Spirits

Outer quote mark With its baked cherry flavors and thick, creamy tannins, this is a warm, smoky wine for braised meats. Inner quote mark (4/2018)

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Pinot Noir

- One of France's most legendary grapes and the grape that earned Burgundy its reputation. The parent of varietals like Pinot Gris/Grigio and Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir is blue to violet to indigo in color with relatively thin skins, and it is said to have been cultivated in France for more than 2,000 years. At its best, Pinot Noir creates elegant wines that are filled with primary red fruit aromas and flavors while young, revealing with an array of secondary characteristics like earth, smoke, violet, truffle and game with age. The varietal is also known, perhaps better than any, for its ability to translate terroir, or a sense of place. While the best Pinot Noir still comes from Burgundy, it is being produced with increasing success in cooler climates around the world. In France, it is part of the trifecta of grapes that can go into Champagne, and it is also grown in Alsace, Irancy, Jura, Savoie, Lorraine and Sancerre. Outside of France it is produced under the names Pinot Nero and Blauburgunder in Italy's mountainous regions, as Spätburgunder in Germany and as Blauburgunder in Austria. In the US, Pinot Noir has found suitable growing conditions in the cooler parts of California, including Carneros, the Russian River Valley, the Anderson Valley, the Sonoma Coast, Monterey County, the Santa Lucia Highlands and Santa Barbara County, as well as in Oregon's Willamette Valley. In recent years, New Zealand has demonstrated its ability to interpret this hard-to-grow varietal, with successful bottlings coming from careful and attentive growers in Central Otago, Martinborough and Canterbury. Chile is also an up-and-coming region for Pinot Noir, creating fresh, fruit-forward, early-drinking and affordable Pinots from the coastal Casablanca Valley and the Limari Valley.

Country:

United States

- When people consider domestic wine, they normally think about the state of California. The fine viticultural Region within California, including the Napa Valley, Sonoma, Santa Cruz Mountains, Mendocino and Santa Barbara, are capable of growing grapes of world-class quality. But there's plenty of fabulous wine coming from other states, too. Oregon, Washington and New York are also causing eyebrows (and glassware) to be raised around the world.

Sub-Region:

California

- With the explosive growth that California's wine industry has seen the past several years, it's easy to view winemaking and grape growing in the Golden State as a recent phenomenon. And while it's true that California's viticultural history is brief compared to several European countries, this state's roots date back well over 200 years. Due to the enormous response to California wine within the United States and worldwide, there are thousands of excellent and diverse wines being produced within the state each year.
