| 2009 Testerossa Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands, Monterey, California WB Rating: 91 Alcohol by volume: 14.5% Price at time of purchase: $54.00 (Winery ) Type: Pinot Noir / Burgundy Principal varietal(s): Pinot Noir Exceptionally focused, elegant Pinot Noir. Still fairly taut and a bit closed, but showing super raw materials. The aromas slowly unfold and open over time to reveal deep cherry, floral, and resinous notes, along with subtle vanilla and spice nuances. Quite structured but nicely balanced in the mouth and finish, and obviously more austere than it will become with time. Extremely harmonious and well-proportioned feel throughout. - HK 2012-03-03 [Back] |
