Wine makers notes: Hints of mineral, grilled nuts, toast and anise along with more dominant notes of orange blossom are present in the aroma of the 2006 Estate Chardonnay. On the palate, the flavors are consistent with past vintages: lemon, hints of pineapple, and subtle mineral tones. The texture is a bit softer and richer and the flavors more concentrated than the 2005 vintage. This versatile wine pairs well with filet of sole, halibut or grilled chicken breast.

Showing Talley's distinctive elegancy and brilliant structure, this Chard is a blend of the Rincon and Rosemary's vineyards. The wine's architecture really makes it special, providing the bare bones to the lemon, lime, pineapple and mango fruit. A great wine to have with food.

Intense and vibrant in an elegant, subtle style, with hints of citrus, green apple, pear and light cedary oak. Drink now. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 7,181 cases made. JL

Talley Estate Chardonnay, Arroyo Grande Valley, 2006 (Arroyo Grande Valley, California): The fruit comes from the Rincon and Rosemary vineyards, which also render single vineyard bottlings of chardonnay. It went through full malolactic fermentation and was aged in medium and heavily toasted oak barrels, yet it has marvelous integration and firm acid. Floral, with lemon meringue, toasted nuts and minerals, this is chardonnay that will please Burgundy and California chardonnay drinkers alike.
Ken's Wine Guide, 9/8/08 - 89.7 Points
"Very Good" - We found this yellow wine opens with an attractive light citrus and pineapple bouquet. On the palate, this medium bodied wine is balanced, crisp, and bright with tangy lemon and pear like flavors. The finish is quite dry and refreshing. The panel would pair this wine with Dover sole or ham. Enjoy KWGTP
