Talbott’s RFT Pinot Noir is drawn from the estate’s "best" barrels of Pinot each vintage, giving the winemaker an opportunity to craft a wine that combines elegance and power in a benchmark wine that showcases the terroir of Talbott’s Monterey County vineyards. The 2012 exhibits an intense nose of violets, spice and red fruits, with a layered palate and firm backbone that bodes well for the evolution of this outstanding Pinot.
