"Stone fruits, subtle orange blossom, brioche, and honeyed mineral nuances all emerge from the 2021 Chardonnay Rosemary's Vineyard, a medium-bodied, clean, classically styled Chardonnay revealing bright yet integrated acidity, terrific balance, and a great finish."

"The 2021 Chardonnay Rosemary's Vineyard is a classic Brian Talley wine. Rich and creamy, with notable texture, the Rosemary's is superb in 2021. There's a bit more oak here than in the other Chardonnays, but the wine has the depth to balance things out. Lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers and a kiss of new French oak build as this resonant, expressive Chardonnay shows off its considerable charms."

"Crisp as a chilled apple, this chardonnay is silky and bright, with a hint of lees and lactic notes; the flavor is as lean as a M'connais chardonnay, with a firm finish for prawns. ‡P.J.C. "

"There's a very strong chance that this wine, which remains in its infancy, could be a lights-out superstar with a few years of patience. Currently, aromas of sharp lemon peel cut through fatter tones of white peach and popcorn. The palate is biting with acidity and tart citrus flavors that need time to mellow. Drink 2025†2035. ‡ Matt Kettmann"
