Talbott Vineyards' Kali Hart Chardonnay comes from Monterey County, a region known for producing Chardonnay with bright acidity and mineral tension. The 2021 vintage is approachable and made for near-term enjoyment.
The wine opens with stone fruit and citrus zest, apricot and tangerine oil dominate the aromatics, alongside delicate floral notes. Oak plays a supporting role, adding a subtle sweetness that frames rather than overwhelms. Light tropical inflections emerge on the finish, and the overall impression is one of balance and polish. This is a wine to drink now, while its freshness and fruit are at their peak.
