Cuvée Carlotta

Named in honor of Robb Talbott’s grandmother, Cuvée Carlotta embodies all the lush power and cool-climate grace of Monterey County winemaking. Along with our acclaimed Cuvée Audrey bottling, Cuvée Carlotta represents the pinnacle of our Chardonnay portfolio, and the culmination of more than a quarter century of growing Chardonnay and making wine in Monterey County. A reflection of the grand cru style Chardonnays that first inspired Robb Talbott in the 1960s, Cuvée Carlotta is crafted as a tête de cuvée selection of our very finest barrels. Known for its elegance and opulence, this sumptuous wine consistently highlights ripe tropical fruit flavors and nuanced notes of pear and spice.

Tasting Notes:2007, 2006, 2005, 2004

		Wine Enthusiast – February 2009 TALBOTT 2005 CUVEE CARLOTTA CHARDONNAY “Massive, as are all of Talbott's 2005 Chardonnays. The Cuvée Carlotta brings together powerful, smoky new oak with extraordinarily ripe fruit to make for a wine of fantastic opulence and decadence. The flavors are endless, a cascade of pineapple jam, apricot créme brûlée, butterscotch, cinnamon toast, vanilla cream and cotton candy flavors. As sweet as that sounds, the finish is thoroughly dry and very long.” – Steve Heimoff
		Wine Spectator – December 8, 2008 TALBOTT 2005 CUVEE CARLOTTA CHARDONNAY “Lots of ripe, fresh tropical fruit - tangerine and nectarine - is full-bodied, clean and elegant, with a clean, refreshing aftertaste. Drink now through 2012.” – James Laube
