Testarossa 2014 Rosemary’s Vineyard Pinot Noir (Arroyo Grande Valley)

Country: US / Rosemary’s Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Testarossa / Arroyo Grande Valley

Comprised solely of the richer 667 clone, this bottling from the Talley family’s iconic vineyard offers juicy blackberry, chipped slate, fennel frond and cola notes on the nose. Smashed black raspberry, strawberry and boysenberry are front-loaded on the palate, but then comes the underlying rush of thyme and anise.
