This (the "Logan") is essentially an entry-level Talbott Pinot and I have seen it priced anywhere from $18-24. This wine exemplifies both Talbottt's commitment to making high quality Pinot (and Chard) at all price points and why Santa Lucia Highlands (SLH) wines really deserve a serious look (and drink) from those who like Pinot and Chard, but don't want to dole out $40 for a disappointing wine. The wine was neither timid nor overpowering, with solid berry fruit and a touch of earthy oak. Everything seemed balanced and integrated. Just a very good Pinot, outstanding Quality to Price Ratio (QPR). Look for the Logan sub-brand and the Sleepy Hollow Vineyards notation. Best by end of 2018.
I love this wine! Medium body, good acidity with notes of fresh cherries, and sandal wood, well integrated and rounded. Long finish, food friendly and great for sipping. This wine may be near its peak.

Tasted blind. Medium (+) ruby with some garnet. The nose is clean, medium (+) in intensity, with black plum, stewed red fruit, fresh herb, savory spice - and pleasant cinnamon, vanilla and other oak-induced spices. The palate is dry, but very fruit-forward, with medium or medium (+) acidity, medium tannins and medium (+) to high alcohol (14.2%). Drinking well now, with several years of aging potential. A very tasty wine wine at a great price at COSTCO ($18.00). Much less of a value at the winery price of $42.00?

Clean and fresh. Big fan of SLH Pinot and this one delivered. Perfect with salmon cakes and cheese.

Cherry and dark fruits, with a touch of oak. Very good QPR.
