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.

92 Points, James Suckling
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.

91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.
#24 Wine of the Year (2022), Wine Spectator
92 Points, Wine Spectator – 91 Points, James Suckling
“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck – 95 Points, Lisa Perotti-Brown
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.
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!
