The Talley’s farming history in the area dates to 1948 when Oliver Talley began growing vegetables in the Arroyo Grande Valley. Guided by this legacy and a commitment to long term sustainability, Talley Vineyards focuses on attention to detail in all aspects of farming and winemaking operations. The goal is to produce distinctive wines of consistently high quality that best express the unique character of each of the Talley family’s six vineyard sites in the two valleys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTalley Vineyards is located in the Arroyo Grande Valley, seven miles east of the Pacific Ocean in San Luis Obispo County on California's South Central Coast. We are approximately halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles and less than 10 minutes from Highway 101 in Arroyo Grande.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSustainable\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eWinemakers\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eDon and Rosemary Talley\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eGrape \/ Blend\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003ePinot Noir\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArroyo Grande Valley, \u003c\/span\u003eCentral Coast, California\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eWinemaker Tasting Notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSustainably grown grapes were hand harvested at night and fermented with native yeast in open top fermenters and punched down by hand.

The Rosemary's Pinot Noir is sourced from a select site, the coolest on the estate. Winemaker Eric Johnson attributes its special wines to a combination of conditions: the temperatures, thicker skins and the site's shaly loam soils. This wine has a duskier side but is still so lifted and elegant—aromas of smoky violets, dried orange peels and a petrichor mineral tone. The palate is lush but bright, balancing the darker elements of the thicker-skinned Pinot Noir with the expected elegance and freshness of the wines from Talley Vineyards. Flavours of tart blackberries and mint, white peppercorn and a savoury black tea element deliver this wine to its gorgeous finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e93 Points - Vinous\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThe 2022 Pinot Noir Rosemary's Vineyard is a deep, beguiling wine.

Similarly, the texture is a beautiful combination of alluring, tensile and agile, displaying solid precision and clarity through the medium-bodied palate. The finish is direct and structured, showing a framing of chewy, new-oak tannin that could use a year or so to integrate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eProduct size: 750ml\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monterey Bay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50699608752433,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/0441\/0666\/files\/Talley_Rosemary_s_Vineyard_Pinot_Noir_Arroyo_Grande_Valley_Central_Coast_California_2022.jpg?v=1739117378","url":"https:\/\/marchantofwine.com\/products\/talley-rosemarys-vineyard-pinot-noir-arroyo-grande-valley-central-coast-california-2022","provider":"Merchant of Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
