Kali Hart

2011 Monterey Pinot Noir

The Talbott Kali Hart Pinot Noir from the 2011 vintage is an exquisite representation of Monterey’s unique terroir. This alluring red wine showcases a medium body with a lively acidity that dances on the palate, enhancing its refreshing quality. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering delightful notes of ripe red cherry and subtle hints of dark berry, complemented by a touch of spice. With soft tannins, this wine provides a graceful structure that harmonizes beautifully with its fruit characteristics. The well-balanced dryness further elevates its approachability, making it a versatile choice for a variety of dishes or simply to be enjoyed on its own. This Pinot Noir is not only a testament to the artistry of winemaking but also reflects the enchanting microclimate of the Monterey region.

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.
