Talley Vineyards has emerged as the star of the Arroyo Grande Valley, which is not surprising given the quality of their recent and current releases. The 1994 Pinot Noir Estate Rincon Vineyard is more complex, perfumed, and broader on the palate than the regular cuvee, as well as rich, elegant, and full-flavored. This full-bodied, stylish Pinot can be drunk now or aged for another 5-6 years. The 1994s are the finest Pinot Noirs I have tasted from Talley, high praise in view of their already laudable record.
