Tasting notes
The 2015 Pinot Noir Rosemary's Vineyard is pale to medium ruby with a nose of bark, cinnamon stick, mushroom and black cherries with a core of sweet red berry preserves and a light framing of baking spices. Light to medium-bodied, broody and earthy in the mouth, it has a sturdy frame of grainy tannins and well-woven freshness, finishing long and spicy.

(aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 35% of them new) Brilliant red. A suave, expansive bouquet evokes fresh red berries, potpourri, incense and smoky minerals. Sappy, alluringly sweet and light on its feet, offering intense raspberry, cherry and floral pastille flavors that are braced by a suggestion of bitter blood orange. Plays power off delicacy with a sure hand, showing no excess weight but displaying abundant red fruit character. Fine-grained tannins lend shape to a strikingly long, smooth finish that leaves a sexy rose pastille note behind.
The 2015 Pinot Noir Rosemary's Vineyard is certainly one of the gems in the vintage. Black cherries, underbrush, crushed violets, ample spice and tons of floral qualities all emerge from this beautifully textured, seamless, silky beauty that has building tannin, impressive mid-palate density, integrated acidity and notable length. Aged 18 months in 35% new French oak, drink it anytime over the coming 10-15 years. Talley Vineyards is unquestionably one of the leading estates in the Edna and Arroyo Grande Valleys, which are both distinctly cool-climate, ocean influenced regions located south of San Luis Obispo.
