WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
The 2021 Talley San Luis Obispo Coast Estate Pinot Noir offers aromas of rich raspberry, clove, strawberry cream, and candle wax, as well as flavors of bright cherry, sandalwood, pomegranate, and thyme. The finish is juicy and bright with a stunning length.
TASTING NOTES:
The 2021 Pinot Noir Estate is a very pretty, sensual wine. Crushed red cherry fruit, kirsch, mint, blood orange, spice and dried flowers all grace this silky, open-knit Pinot. The translucent, soft style is quite appealing.

I loved the 2021 Pinot Noir Estate, a rounded, medium-bodied, complex effort that has assorted sweet cherry and raspberry fruit, some spicy, herbal nuances, ripe tannins, and a lengthy finish. It's not the most complex or layered Pinot Noir out there, but it sure is fun to drink.
