2013 Talbott "Sleepy Hollow Vineyard" Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay it's impeccably balancedBright yellow gold. Aromas of ripe pear, nectarine, honey and toasty lees, with a subtle floral nuance emerging with aeration. Smooth and open knit, offering sappy pit and orchard fruit flavors and a bracing punch of bitter citrus pith on the back half. Nicely bllends opulence and vivacity and finishes with very good cling and subtle smokiness. (JR)
