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

93 points/'Editors' Choice' Wine Enthusiast: "As the Talley family's entry-level brand, this is a very exciting indication of what to expect in the 2023 wines. This bottling offers crunchy raspberry, red currant, white pepper, sansho pepper and dewy sage on the dynamic nose. The palate is awash in a zippy acidity that enlivens the thyme, bay leaf and raspberry flavors. (Mar 2025)"

90 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "[$25 list] The 2023 Pinot Noir is an absolute delight. Aromatic and light on its feet, it offers up generous crushed red berry fruit, orange peel, mint and hints of spice. This mid-weight, vibrant Pinot offers tons of San Luis Obispo Coast character—it’s a great value, too. Drink: 2024-2028. (Aug 2024)"

Producer notes: "Aromas of raspberry, blood orange, prickly pear and dill lead to flavors of cranberry, red currant, orange rind, fresh cut pine and thyme. The finish is juicy. The 2023 Bishop’s Peak Pinot Noir is versatile enough to pair with a variety of dishes: vegetable pad see ew, grilled salmon or hoison duck bao buns. This wine is vegan."
