Testarossa 2014 Niclaire Pinot Noir (California)

Country: US / Niclaire
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Testarossa / California

Welcoming on the nose, this top-end bottling offers aromas of baked red cherry, clove and black plum before diving into crushed graphite, wet slate and loamy mud aromas. Soft on the palate but immediately vibrant with acidity, flavors of dark cranberry and tart cherry are lifted by anise-like spice.
