Talbott Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021

With four decades of meticulous craftsmanship, Talbott celebrates the nuances of each vintage. To sustain a legacy of exceptional wines from this celebrated vineyard, Talbott's stewards in the vineyard and winery thoughtfully pursue innovation to ensure the longevity of the land and their vines. 

Information is a powerful ally. Soil mapping—a meticulous electro magnetic imaging of every inch of Sleepy Hollow—yields 80 facets of vital information about the terrain, from magnesium concentrations to water-holding capacity. The data helps the Talbott viticulture team develop planting strategies tailored to the unique characteristics of each section of the vineyard—per block, row, and vine.

Insights from soil mapping also allow the vineyard team to match rootstocks to the terrain and align with the winemaking team to select compatible clones. This micro-targeted approach to farming can transform a single block into a mosaic of multiple rootstocks and clone combinations adapted to slope, aspect, and soil, among other inputs.

Grown in this acclaimed Sleepy Hollow Vineyard, Talbott Vineyards Pinot Noir offers aromas of savory spice with notes of plum, blackberry and vanilla. Rich on the palate, this Pinot Noir offers a soft, mouth-filling texture with an underlying minerality, vibrant acidity and satiny finish.
