Tel: (859) 971-3214

Despite less than 10 years in the business, Talon Wineries in Lexington is already reaping the fruits of its labor; the winery's reds and whites have won six silver and 11 bronze medals in various wine competitions. Many of Talon's wines have whimsical names - Moondance, Bluegrass Blush, Sweet Evening Breeze, and Afterglow - and are embodied with unconventional flavors. Afterglow has sweet apple and pear undertones with hints of pink grapefruit and honey. More-traditional wines include Kentucky oak-aged Cabernet Sauvignon with moderate tannins and a mildly spicy finish. Talon's tasting room is housed in an 18th-century farmhouse and maintains regular hours.
