Testarossa 2014 Pisoni Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / California
Variety: Pinot Noir
Winery: Testarossa / Pisoni Vineyard

Crushed slate, plush rose petals, red cherry, smoked beef, vanilla and a slightly feral quality arise on the nose of this bottling from the region’s most iconic vineyard. There is great tension on the sip, with tart plum skin, bright raspberry and dark cranberry fruit meeting with black spice, sandalwood and incense flavors. Acidity binds it all together.
