Talbott has made so many exceptional Chardonnays that the above rating may be the lowest I have bestowed one of their wines. Nevertheless, it is a very good, oaky, rich, more rustic style Chardonnay than usual. There are plenty of rich, nicely-textured fruit flavors, full body, and a weighty feel on the palate. Good acidity provides focus and freshness. Drink this wine over the next year.Tel. (408) 675-3000
