Talley "Rosemary's" Arroyo Grande Valley Pinot Noir 2023

Jeb Dunnuck : 95 Points

(9/4/2025) The 2023 Pinot Noir Rosemary's Vineyard displays a medium ruby/translucent hue and a spice-driven, complex nose of red fruits, savory herbs, and forest floor/underbrush-like nuances. Based on 100% Pinot Noir and aged in 33% new French oak for 16 months, it's medium-bodied and has a beautiful sense of purity and precision, ripe tannins, and clean, focusing acidity that comes through on the finish. There's a Vosne-Romanée-like complexity and depth here, and it should have solid longevity. Drink 2025-2037.

Whisky Advocate : 95+ Points

(12/4/2025) The 2023 Pinot Noir Rosemary's Vineyard echoes its Chardonnay equivalent as the most alluring and complex Pinot Noir in the Talley portfolio. It offers a slightly darker, deeper fruit profile than its counterparts, while weaving in fresh herb, citrus rind and sea spray accents. The beautifully textured palate is equal parts lacy and sumptuous while simultaneously displaying the most tensile elasticity of the range. It culminates in a long, layered finish framed by detailed, fine-grained tannins entwined with crystalline salinity. While already beautiful, I would err on the side of patience, as there is energy, dynamism and dimension here to spare. Drink Date: 2026 - 2036.
