Talley Vineyards

Talley Vineyards is the most historically founding-significance SLO Coast farming family and most personally family-continuously-Arroyo-Grande-Valley-committed Pinot Noir and Chardonnay estate. Oliver and Rosemary Talley — whose family farming history in the Arroyo Grande Valley predates the wine estate by generations, with the Talley family farming vegetables and other agricultural products on the same Lopez Drive property before converting to wine grapes — established the most genuinely farming-family-rooted and personally continuously family-operated wine program in San Luis Obispo County.

The Arroyo Grande Valley location — where the most Pacific-proximate and consistently fog-influenced cool-maritime SLO Coast growing conditions create Pinot Noir and Chardonnay character of individual maritime mineral quality — provides the geological and climatic foundation for the Talley estate's most critically recognized single-vineyard Rincon and Rosemary's Block designates alongside the broadly accessible estate Arroyo Grande Valley expressions.

Wine Advocate has consistently scored the Talley Rincon Vineyard and Rosemary's Block Pinot Noir and Chardonnay at 91–95 points for the individual Arroyo Grande Valley cool-maritime character and personal Talley-family-farming-continuously-SLO-Coast-committed quality that the most historically founding-significance and genuinely farming-family-rooted San Luis Obispo County Burgundy variety appointment delivers.
