Don’t you love sur lies? Anything on the “dregs” has to be amazing...especially if they spent four months on it!
This wine, the youngest of the Talbott "children" (Talbott Vineyards, that is), has a lovely, sparkling, brilliant straw color. Up the olfactory...this medium-bodied liquid issues fragrant star jasmine and lush, delicious tropical fruit and tangerines. The palate is gushing with acidic lemons, ripe tropical pineapple, luscious guava, more tangy tangerine, tart nectarine and balanced with delicious oaky soft vanilla and a mineral finish with more delicious citrus.
Risqué 's heart throbs for more Hart—Kali Hart, that is—especially at an even more adorable price!
