History

In 1982, the winery was founded in Carmel by Robb Talbott and his father, Robert Talbott Sr[1]

Vineyards

Talbott sources from two vineyards, Diamond T and Sleepy Hollow. Diamond T was planted by the Talbotts in 1982 with chardonnay[2]. Sleepy Hollow was first planted in 1972, and has a mix of pinot noir and chardonnay[3]. Sleepy Hollow was purchased by Talbott in 1994, enabling them to produce wines exclusively from grapes grown on land owned by them -- making Talbott an estate winery.[1]

Reception

Talbott's 1990 Sleepy Hollow Chardonnay was awarded a 100-point score by Wine Spectator in a retrospective tasting in 1997[1].
