Diamond T Vineyard

2014 Monterey Chardonnay

The Talbott Diamond T Vineyard Chardonnay from the 2014 vintage is a remarkable expression of Monterey's cool coastal climate, showcasing a beautifully bright and inviting color. This medium-bodied wine is known for its delightful balance of high acidity and pronounced fruit intensity, with enchanting notes of green apple, pear, and a hint of tropical pineapple. The wine offers a refreshing, mouthwatering profile, complemented by subtle undertones of vanilla and toasty oak that add complexity and richness. It is expertly crafted, exhibiting a dry character that makes it incredibly food-friendly for pairings with seafood dishes, creamy pastas, or fresh salads. This Chardonnay truly embodies the elegance and finesse that the Monterey region is celebrated for.

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.
