($42): Talbott Vineyards has been one of the leaders in Pinot Noir in Santa Lucia Highlands with their wines from their Sleepy Hollow Vineyard.  The 2013 is a powerful, yet balanced, Pinot Noir with great energy and freshness.  Ripe cherry-like fruit flavors dominate, while savory nuances add complexity.  This easy-to-recommend California Pinot Noir would be a good match for grilled hanger steak.
