Talley 2011 Rincon Vineyard Chardonnay (Arroyo Grande Valley)

Country: US / Rincon Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Talley / Arroyo Grande Valley

This bottling combines, as usual, ripe tropical fruits, oak and minerals with excellent acidity to yield a wine that’s opulent in the way of a rich Chardonnay, yet balanced and elegant. It’s a full-bodied wine whose richness is almost over the top at this point. Give it up to three years of aging to mellow.
