Starting off the reds, the 2011 Pinot Noir Kali Hart (aged 9 months in 10% new French oak) offers upfront and delicious Pinot Noir character with sweet red fruits, underbrush and hints of herbs to go with a medium-bodied, lightly textured, yet classy and fresh mouthfeel. It doesn’t pack much back-end depth or richness, yet is very drinkable and has solid character. Enjoy it over the coming 1-3 years. Drink now-2016. I was blown away by these current releases and across the board the wines show beautiful balance and loads of class. In addition, the Kali Hart and Logan releases are serious values that should not be missed! Tel. (831) 675-3000; www.talbotvineyards.com
