Talbott, Monterey County (California) Pinot Noir 2008

Aug 22, 2010

By W. Blake Gray

 From a vineyard on top of a 1,200-foot mountain, this Pinot entices with root beer spice, cherry fruit and a dried meat note.  It’s surprisingly European in its spiciness and savoriness, though the 14.4% alcohol is clearly California.
