Welcome to Talley Vineyards

Winter 2020 

Winter would appear to be a quiet time at Talley Vineyards, but looks can be deceiving.  In the vineyard, our most critical activity is pruning, which entails removing the old wood of seasons past as well as choosing those canes that will carry the fruit of the coming season. 
In the winery, it’s bottling season and most of the wines that will be released this year, from both the 2018 and 2019 vintages, are bottled at this time.  This includes one of the most iconic wines we produce, Rosemary’s Vineyard Chardonnay.  Over the years, the vineyard that surrounds my mother’s house has produced some of California’s most distinctive Chardonnays, as evidenced by its first place showing at the 30th Anniversary Judgment of Paris Tasting in 2006.  The 2017 vintage scored 96+ points from noted wine critic Jeb Dunnuck. 
The April 1 release of the 2018 Rosemary’s Vineyard Chardonnay will mark our 24th release of this wine and it will sell out quickly.  Securing an allocation requires some of the same thought and preparation that it takes us to produce this wine.              

Cheers!  Brian Talley
