Talbott Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019

Pleasantly bold and rugged aromas of smashed mulberry, plum, dried meat, mace and pepper make for a compelling nose on this bottling from a iconic vineyard. Soft tannins frame plush baked plum flavors on the palate, where nutmeg and cinnamon add complexity.

Medium ruby, the 2019 Pinot Noir Sleepy Hollow Vineyard has briary black fruits on the nose with notes of tobacco, earth, iron and charcuterie. The palate is medium-bodied, soft and bright with appealing spicy fruits and a long, sweet spice-laced finish.

Juicy and lithe, with black tea, mulling spice and dried anise notes mixed with gently steeped raspberry and blood orange fruit flavors, which show nice length on the finish. Drink now through 2024. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 840 cases made.
