Winemaker Notes

Dark red hue. Complex scents of ripe cherry pie, orange, sage, marmalade jam, and vanilla bean leap out of the glass. With aeration, notes of roasted strawberry, chokecherry, and ripe cranberry continue the excitement of this Pinot Noir blend. As the aromas continue to get more complex, the flavors become more focused once on the palate with red fruits and citrus elements. Fine tannins provide precise texture, while the modest acidity reinforces the fruit profiles. This wine ends with an intricate, vibrant, and persistent path. Enjoy now through 2030.

About Winery

Testarossa Vineyards, located in the historic 19th century Novitiate winery of Los Gatos, was founded in 1993 by husband and wife team of Rob and Diana Jensen. The name Testarossa (Italian for "red-head") was a nickname given to Rob Jensen when he was a university student in Italy. It was there, also, that the Jensens further developed their passion for good food and wine. Along with their winemaker, Ed Kurtzman, the Jensens are dedicated to making small lots of vineyard desgnated wines from only the best vineyards in the cool, ocean-influenced counties of Monterey, Santa Barbara and Sonoma.

92 Pts, Wine Enthusiast

"Muddy clay and foggy fennel-frond aromas met with wild, dark and dry berries on the nose of this solid appellation blend. The palate begins on the ripe front, showing berry and cherry before the sagebrush and menthol character comes through."
