Testarossa 2006 Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / Sleepy Hollow Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Testarossa / Santa Lucia Highlands

The vineyard is in the northwestern, coolest part of the Highlands, which is most susceptible to the chilly winds that blow in from Monterey Bay. You can taste the salty tang of the sea, and the wine certainly is high in acidity. It’s also deep in cherry, raspberry, currant, cola and spice flavors. Delicious now, and should mellow over the next six years.
