Talley Vineyards The Adobe Pinot Noir 2018

The Adobe is a complete expression of Talley Vineyards, blending the very best Pinot Noir grapes of our estate. Cultivated and crafted by hand, this wine leans further into the time-honored winemaking traditions of Burgundy that inspired Don and Brian Talley to begin making wine over thirty five years ago. This reserve Pinot Noir was named in homage to the historic El Rincón Adobe, a home built in the 1860’s on land that would become Talley Vineyards, made with surrounding soil and elements of the earth. The building remains on the Talley estate today as a reminder of the fortitude and magic that define our sense of place; it’s the heart of our vineyards. The inaugural vintage of 2018 is soft yet energetic with notes of fruit and spice. It is not only a sip of finesse, harmony and sophistication but also tells the collective story of our sense of place — the soil, climate and history.
