Talbott Kali Hart Chardonnay V18 750ML

The 2018 Talbott Kali Hart Chardonnay is the most fruit-forward in our portfolio. Grown in cool climates, Kali Hart is an exceptionally refreshing Chardonnay. Notes of ripe stone fruit and juicy tropical notes meet aromas of Madagascar vanilla for a bright mouthfeel straight through to the finish. The 2018 growing season was consistently mild, allowing fruit to ripen gradually on the vine and develop complex flavor.

With a long, cool growing season, the grapes develop character, intensity and depth for which the vineyard has become famous. The Olson Vineyard resides in the southern region of the Santa Lucia Highlands appellation along a stunning section of rolling hills and hillsides. This vineyard is composed of a selection of granite and limestone soils and enjoys warmer days to ripen Chardonnay to tropical fruit aromas with softer acidity and a rich mouthfeel.
