Testarossa 2012 Rosella’s Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / Rosella’s Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Testarossa / Santa Lucia Highlands

Testarossa’s single-vineyard expertise shines on this wine from Rosella’s, which is fresh and alive on the nose with ripe nectarine and grapefruit peel. The acidity carries prominently on the palate, but the ruby-red grapefruit elements are not sharp, possessing both sweet and savory sides and finishing with some bitterness. Serve with honey-glazed seared scallops.
