Testarossa 2008 Doctor’s Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / Doctor’s Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Testarossa / Santa Lucia Highlands

A very finely crafted Pinot Noir, although it’s also very young and wants some time in the cellar. Combines great Highlands fruit power and tannic structure with a silky, delicate mouthfeel. Beautiful now for the elaborate raspberry and cherry flavors, elaborated with beautiful oak, but better after 2013.
