Audrey

2014 Monterey Chardonnay

The Talbott Audrey Chardonnay from the esteemed Monterey region is a delightful representation of its varietal, showcasing a stunning pale golden hue that glimmers in the glass. This enchanting wine presents a full-bodied experience complemented by bright acidity that invigorates the palate. With a prominent fruit intensity, it reveals layers of ripe stone fruits such as peach and apricot, expertly intertwined with subtle notes of vanilla and butter from oak aging. The texture is elegantly smooth, providing a well-rounded mouthfeel. As a dry wine, it finishes with a refreshing crispness that invites another sip, making it a perfect companion for seafood or creamy pasta dishes. This 2014 vintage is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of its producers, capturing the essence of Monterey’s terroir beautifully.

Central Coast

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
