2014 Monterey Pinot Noir

The Talbott Rft Pinot Noir from the 2014 vintage is a striking red wine that beautifully captures the essence of Monterey's unique terroir. With a medium-bodied profile, it presents a balance of vibrant fruit flavors and subtle earthy undertones. The wine showcases a delightful acidity that enhances its freshness, making it remarkably refreshing on the palate. Tannins are medium, offering a soft structure that complements the luscious fruit intensity, which is prominent, showcasing notes of ripe cherries and berries. This delightful Pinot Noir is dry, making it an excellent choice for a variety of food pairings, from grilled salmon to roasted poultry, inviting wine lovers to savor its complexity.

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.
