2022 Talley Estate SLO Coast Chardonnay
SKU #50641938
Winery Notes- Our Estate Chardonnay is the quintessential expression of Talley Vineyards, representing the cool climate and hillside topography of our home on the San Luis Obispo Coast. The refreshing complexity of the 2022 vintage is laced with hints of citrus, french baguette and marcona almond.
VINOUS RATING: 92
VINOUS REVIEW: The 2022 Chardonnay Estate is a total knockout. Bold, punchy and immediate, the 2022 is absolutely irresistible. A rush of ripe apricot, pear, white flowers, spice and chamomile makes a strong first impression. Creamy and layered, with striking persistence, this is a total delight.
DECANTER MAGAZINE: 94
DECANTER MAGAZINE REVIEW: From the cool climate, Talley Vineyards in the SLO Coast is a sterling example of saline minerality and finely etched citrus fruits that true coastal regions can produce—aromatics of grilled lemon, sea air, petrichor, and crushed slate. The palate is linear, with intense Meyer lemon pulp, flinty lime peel, and tangy grilled pineapple flesh—gorgeous intensity.
JEB DUNNUCK RATING: 92
JEB DUNNUCK REVIEW: The 2022 Chardonnay Estate is a much more serious Chardonnay, offering stone fruits, honeyed flowers, and spicy wood notes in a medium-bodied, focused, nicely concentrated style. A blend of multiple sites (Oliver’s, Rosemary’s, Rincon, and others), aged in 20% new barrels, it’s going to shine for 4-6 years.
