This stunning effort is showing even better than it did when I reviewed it in August, 2010. Complexity, elegance, purity and stunning balance characterize this 2007. Its dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by a sweet perfume of pomegranate, plum, blueberry, forest floor, black cherries and black currants. Deep, medium to full-bodied, extremely well-focused and expressive, this terrific Pinot Noir is capable of lasting another 10-12 years.

The 2007 Pinot Noir Rosemary’s Vineyard is outrageously delicious Pinot Noir. A complex nose of blue and red fruits, spring flowers, and some background graphite and earth is followed by a full-bodied wine that combines Talley’s signature elegance and complexity with intense flavors. Nothing is out of balance, and the exceptional purity and integrity of the fruit and its near-seamless structure are something to behold. Drink this beauty over the next decade. The one superstar for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the Edna Valley is Talley Vineyards. Interestingly, they make most of their money growing vegetables rather than grapes. Yet Brian Talley and his team continue to turn out extremely elegant, European styled wines from this micro-climate at the southern end of the Edna Valley, not far from Arroyo Seco. The production of the single-vineyard Pinot Noirs is slightly lower than the Chardonnays, with about 500 cases of the Rincon and Rosemary’s, and only 225 of the Stone Corral. Kudos to Brian Talley. He has always made wonderful wine, but these are among the very best I have ever tasted from him.Tel. (805) 489-0446
