Bishop's Peak (Talley) Chardonnay San Luis Obispo County 2023

89 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (The Wine Independent): "The 2022 Bishop's Peak Chardonnay was mainly fermented in stainless steel with some neutral oak aging and was entirely fermented with native yeast. It rolls effortlessly out of the glass with ready-to-go notes of ripe apples, nectarines, and guava, leading to hints of allspice and creme caramel. The medium-bodied palate is racy and refreshing with vibrant apple and peaches flavors and a silky texture, finishing with a spicy lift. Bishop's Peak is a second label of declassified Talley Vineyards wines from the San Luis Obispo Coast. It represents great value at $25 SRP. Drink: 2024-2027. (Oct 2023)"

89 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2023 Chardonnay is laced with hints of tangerine peel, dried herbs and chamomile. This is an especially savory, earthy style that will please readers who appreciate Chardonnays built on nuance more than forward fruit. Drink: 2024-2027. (Aug 2024)"

Jeb Dunnuck: "Melon, subtle tropical fruits, and some floral notes all emerge from the 2023 Chardonnay Bishop's Peak, a juicy, medium-bodied, clean, classy effort that has lots to love. It would be a terrific house white and should have 2-4 years of prime drinking. Drink: 2024-2028. (Aug 2024)"
