title: Talley 2006 Rosemary's Vineyard Pinot Noir (Arroyo Grande Valley)
description: The '06 had a hard act to follow after the classic 2005. It's not as great a Pinot Noir, showing a tannic brittleness and heaviness despite a rich undertow of red currants, mocha and spices. As good as it is, it lacks a refined elegance, and its hope lies in the cellar.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Rosemary's Vineyard
