Talbott is one of California’s premier wineries. The secret in their arsenal is their famous estate vineyard, Sleepy Hollow, one of Santa Lucia Highlands oldest, most well- respected and coldest temperature spots in the region. It was deemed a ‘Grand Cru’ California vineyard by Wine Enthusiast and it’s also the vineyard source for Talbott’s perfect 100-point review from Wine Spectator some years ago.
Today it’s the home to countless expertly crafted Pinot Noirs, most seeing 95 points or more from wine critics, and most priced at $75/bottle or more. But as we knock on December’s door, our friends at Talbott gave us a special offer that reads like a misprint and I jumped on it without giving it a second thought.
$45/bottle on release for Talbott’s Sleepy Hollow Estate Pinot Noir 2016. $32.99/bottle is the absolute lowest price online you could find … before today.

Dried-strawberry and orange-peel aromas. Dusty, dry earth. Full body, round and juicy tannins and a long and flavorful finish. This is real pinot noir character. Drink now and enjoy.

The oft 100-point winemaker, Jayson Woodbridge had this to say when tasting his 2021 ‘Stargazing’ Sonoma Pinot: “The wine is vibrant and complex with subtle dark fruits and berries, grandmother’s cherry pie, minerals, and a slight touch of rain-soaked earth, intertwined with a balance and very pleasing easy-going luxury. Should have been priced higher but what the hell.” I have no doubt this clerical error will be addressed in the vintages moving forward. But for now, this is a cult Pinot for under $100/bottle.

Damien has crafted a delicious Médoc, full of character with dense black currant and cherry fruit, cedar, tobacco and wonderful complexity. It’s silky complexion is what pushes it over the edge (and, of course, the price!) It doesn’t hurt that it comes from a 95-point Left Bank vintage that the Wine Advocate declared, “outstanding.”
It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!

“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”
