2021 Talbott Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Chardonnay [WE92][JS90]

"Subtle aromas of lemon peel, Asian pear and honeysuckle draw the nose into this bottling from an iconic vineyard. A bright spritz of lime and a firm tension meet with underripe pineapple and sea salt on the palate." 

"A rather dense and fruity chardonnay with lots of richness with yogurt, cooked apple and nuttiness. Full-bodied with lots of fruit and a straightforward finish. A little old school, but plenty going on for those of you who like full-throttled chards. Drink now." 

Winemaker Notes:  

"Talbott Sleepy Hollow Vineyard sits at the northern edge of the Santa Lucia Highlands, 21 miles from the coast. Sandy, gravelly soils and a dramatic maritime influence increase hang time, producing a Chardonnay of intense varietal character, balanced acidity and rich flavor."
