Logan

2009 Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay

The Talbott Logan Chardonnay from the esteemed Santa Lucia Highlands is a splendid representation of California's cool-climate winemaking. This wine showcases a full-bodied character, offering a wonderful balance of rich flavors and bright acidity that invigorates the palate. With its lively brightness, the acidity manages to beautifully frame the fruit, allowing the prominent notes of stone fruit, citrus, and subtle hints of oak to shine through. The fruit intensity is pronounced, providing an inviting experience that is both refreshing and complex. As a dry wine, it maintains an elegant sophistication that complements its creamy texture, making it an excellent choice for various culinary pairings or simply to enjoy on its own.

Santa Lucia Highlands

Nestled in the foothills of the Santa Lucia Mountains, this small but mighty area was recognized for the quality of its terroir and became an AVA in 1991. Cooled by Pacific Ocean fogs and strong Monterey Bay coastal breezes, the sunny vineyards here enjoy one of the longest growing seasons in the region. Some regard its powerful Pinot Noir and deeply flavored Chardonnay as among the best California has to offer. And if you want to look beyond classic Burgundy grapes, try Santa Lucia Highland's intriguing Northern Rhône-inspired Syrah.
