Talley Vineyards Chardonnay San Luis Obispo Coast 2020
Bright pale-yellow center, with streaks of silver at the rim. The nose opens with tones of white peach and nectarine, salted lemon peel, and wet stones. The palate is vibrant and focused, with ample richness to flesh out a mouthfeel that’s also staying agile and focused. There is volume to the wine, yet it has poised roundness that is elegant and inviting, really showing off the precision of the best vineyards Talley owns. Just delicious. Drink now–2030.

Bright straw-yellow. Lively, mineral-tinged citrus and orchard fruits on the nose; jasmine and vanilla flourishes add complexity. Bright and nervy on the palate, offering spice-laced pear, Meyer lemon and peach flavors and a hint of candied ginger. Turns deeper on the persistent finish, which repeats the mineral and pear notes and leaves a floral note behind.
