A lively, spicy, vivid red that bursts from the glass with cinnamon, clove and spiced cherry aromas on a full body. Good, vibrant acidity and moderate tannins give a lift to the palate. Sour cherry, plump raspberry, forest floor and savory bay laurel flavors give plenty to enjoy. Drink now or hold. Screw cap.

The 2023 Pinot Noir Sleepy Hollow Vineyard is neatly poised and very well balanced, reflecting another positive step toward a more elegant style that began at Talbott in the recent past. The 2023 is a citrus-driven, vibrant Pinot with lovely lift and delineation. Blood orange, pink grapefruit, raspberry and sweet spice tones resonate from start to finish, all motivated by mouthwatering acidity and super-fine tannins. Rosy florals perk up on the close. Excellent.

Raspberry and cherry aromas are spiced up with pepper and forest herb on the nose of this bottling from a historic vineyard. The palate is smooth at first with strawberry and red flower flavors, but then savory elements of meat and herb add even more depth.
