The 2023 Chardonnay Rosemary's Vineyard reveals a medium gold hue and a stunning nose of stone fruits, ripe melon, spicy wood, and salty minerality. Aged sur lie for 14 months, it's balanced and medium-bodied, with a juicy, lively mouthfeel and a great finish. This is another truly brilliant Chardonnay from this estate that you could put in a blind lineup of top White Burgundies. Drink 2025-2035.

Vinous
Showcasing a luminous medium ruby-blue saturation and a pale crimson edge, the 2024 Reeve Septime Pinot Noir leads with an intriguing aromatic profile of dehydrated flower blossoms and wild marionberry. Subtle nuances of sun-ripened peach skin and a vibrant flick of tangerine zest add complexity to a bouquet that feels fresh and layered. On the palate, the wine reveals deep-seated notes of crushed blueberries and a savory touch of umami, all held within a medium-bodied frame. While remarkably harmonious, the wine's youth is evident in its tactile, sticky tannins and a bright, medium-plus acidity that drives a long finish.

Decanter
Gorgeous Chardonnay comes from the hands of winemaker Eric Johnson at Talley Vineyards on the San Luis Obispo Coast. This bottling from Rosemary's is the coolest site on the cooler than you'd expect Talley estate. Beautiful and full aromatics of clover honey, candied ginger, rich, ripe pineapple, and a sweet white gardenia floral tone. The palate nails texture, as a creamy lemon curd flavour segues into juicy ripe mangoes, perfectly ripe Meyer lemon pulp and an undeniable coastal salinity that soars at the finish.

Int'l Wine Review
The 2023 Talley Vineyards Rosemary’s Vineyard Chardonnay from the Arroyo Grande Valley is a masterclass in elegance and coastal expression. Capturing the purity of this cool-climate site with dazzling aromatics of jasmine, honeycomb, and preserved lemon layered with hints of ginger and ripe pineapple. The palate is silky and expansive, weaving together flavors of lemon curd, mango, and poached pear, balanced by a line of saline minerality that keeps it fresh and focused. A touch of oak adds warmth and depth without diminishing the wine’s oceanic brightness. The finish lingers with notes of citrus oil and sea breeze tones. Drink 2025-2035
