Talley Vineyards
San Luis Obispo Coast
We are delighted to introduce Talley Vineyards, led by owner Brian Talley and winemaker Eric Johnson. Based in the newly created AVA, San Luis Opisbo, affectionately known as the ‘SLO’ Coast said to be the coldest AVA in California. Despite Talley Vineyards being a 3-hour drive northwest of LA, the cool winds that roll off the Pacific Ocean create an ideal climate for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Having heard great things about their wines, Emma and Charlie went to visit Brian in August 2022.
Their range of wines are wonderfully ocean influenced with terrific tension, freshness, and delicacy. The Chardonnay’s have cool climate fruits with a lovely floral and mineral lift. The Pinot’s are intensely perfumed, floral, and energetic.
The Rosemary’s Vineyard is climatically Talley’s coolest vineyard, which produces wines of most elegant, tension and intensity.
We will be shipping the wines winter 2022 and look forward to sharing them in the new year.
