Country: US / Rincon Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Talley / Arroyo Grande Valley
Talley’s Rincon bottling is a big, complicated Pinot that’s quite unresolved in youth. The 2006 is typical. Dark and full-bodied, it has opulent flavors of black currants, with tart notes of coffee and tobacco, and is completely dry. It’s also quite tannic. Should come into its own after 2010 and glide for several more years.
