Wine Profile

Ratings

89 Points. Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar. Vivid red. Fresh red berries and spices on the fragrant nose. Juicy and precise, with good depth to its strawberry and raspberry flavors. Shows very good intensity on the finish, which is tight, linear and nicely persistent.

89 Points. Editor's Choice. Wine Enthusiast, April 2012. Bishop's Peak which is the second label of Talley, has been turning out some of the best Pinot Noirs at this price point in California. Their 2010 is elegant and delicious, with savory cherry, persimmon and spice flavors. Drink it now. -S.H.

Vineyard Notes

The 2010 growing season began with average rainfall for the season and a warm spring that allowed for excellent fruit set. Yields were moderate for pinot noir. The summer featured foggy mornings followed by cool afternoons with daily high temperatures in the mid 70s. A six day warm period in mid-September finished ripening the crop. Acidity was higher than normal due to the cool season.
