About This Wine

Talbott

Kali Hart Chardonnay

A stunning wine garnering 91 points from Vinous and 90 from Wine Enthusiast. Coming from the consistently mild 2018 growing season, the fruit ripened gradually on the vine to develop deep and complex flavors. The resulting wines are highly detailed in flavor, balance, and intensity. The grapes came from Talbott's Olsen Vineyard in the southern region of the Santa Lucia Highlands. The region is all rolling hills, which get beautiful sunlight for ripening the grapes. The granite and limestone soils retain the heat that helps build the wine's flavor: big tropical fruit and vanilla.

NOTE: This is NOT a Firstleaf Exclusive Wine.

Wine Region

Monterey County

Not to be confused with Monterey AVA, Monterey County is a larger designation that also includes the Carmel and San Antonio valleys, among others. Encompassing three distinct zones at the northern end of the Central Coast, Monterey County produces vast amounts of high-quality Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Gris. For reds, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon have often been replaced by Pinot Noir, Syrah and Grenache in recent years. These cooler-climate grapes achieve greatness through the influence of Monterey Bay, which pushes cold fogs and chilly afternoon winds down the Salinas Valley, tempering the sun's heat and allowing a long, moderate ripening season.
