"From the cool climate, Talley Vineyards in the SLO Coast is a sterling example of saline minerality and finely etched citrus fruits that true coastal regions can produce‡aromatics of grilled lemon, sea air, petrichor, and crushed slate. The palate is linear, with intense Meyer lemon pulp, flinty lime peel, and tangy grilled pineapple flesh‡gorgeous intensity."

"A mellow, ripe but balanced wine that's super smooth, fresh and lingering in the finish. Medium-bodied with good acidity and subtle baked apples, lemon zest, toast and minerals. Barrel fermented with native yeast. Sustainable. Drink now."

"The 2022 Chardonnay Estate is a total knockout. Bold, punchy and immediate, the 2022 is absolutely irresistible. A rush of ripe apricot, pear, white flowers, spice and chamomile makes a strong first impression. Creamy and layered, with striking persistence, this is a total delight."
