Testarossa 2007 Rosella’s Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Lucia Highlands)

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

This is one of the bigger, more powerful Chardonnays out there in the market. It’s triumphant in ripe pineapple jam, apricot-infused crème brûlée, Meyer lemon custard, buttered toast and cinnamon spice flavors, wrapped into a creamy rich texture that finishes dry and crisp. May lack subtlety, but what immense pleasure it offers.
