Spicy-fruity comes to mind with this big Pinot Noir. Aromas of black pepper, anise, cherries, and blackberries. Upon taste, this Brosseau Pinot shows power with grace. Fine grain tannins and intense minerality are tamed with the silky, rich texture. This wine is built to last up to 10+ years, but decanting is recommended for early enjoyment. This wine when paired with lamb, cannot go wrong. -Bill Brosseau, Winemaker 253 cases produced 92 pts Wine Enthusiast This Pinot shows the ripeness and richness that Testarossa is known for. Grape yields were evidently low, to judge by the concentration of cherries, raspberries, blackberries, cola, root beer and pomegranate flavors. Fully dry, the wine also is somewhat tight in tannins and acids. It should benefit from a few years in the cellar. -Steve Heimoff 90 pts Connoisseurs' Guide A tight, compact quality to this wine holds it back when it is first opened, but given an opportunity to get some air, it shows more depth and richness than in its first impressions. Its nose takes on both ripe cherry and minerally, chalky tones along with a creme brulee, oaky overlay, and its flavors also begin to open. Still, the wine is too compressed at this point to be fully rewarding, and cellaring would seem the better choice. -Charles Olken NOTE: We can only ship wine to the following states: AK, CA, CO, FL, IA, IL, KY, MI, MN, MO, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OR, TX, VA, WA, WI <LI>SKU: 05PBR1 Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Category1" TITLE="Wine">Wine</A> / <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Category4" TITLE="Pinot Noir">Pinot Noir</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product92 TITLE="2006 Palazzio Pinot Noir">2006 Palazzio Pinot Noir</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product54 TITLE="2006 Palazzio Pinot Noir - 375ml Case">2006 Palazzio Pinot Noir - 375ml Case</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product122 TITLE="2006 Garys' Vineyard Pinot Noir">2006 Garys' Vineyard Pinot Noir</A> -- New Release! 92 pts Wine Enthusiast 92 pts Connoisseurs' Guide 90 pts Wine Spectator <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product114 TITLE="2006 Rosella's Vineyard Pinot Noir">2006 Rosella's Vineyard Pinot Noir</A> -- New Release! 92 pts Wine Enthusiast 91 pts Connoissers' Guide 90 pts Wine Spectator <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product120 TITLE="2006 Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Pinot Noir">2006 Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Pinot Noir</A> -- New Release! 92 pts Wine Enthusiast</i? <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product86 TITLE="2005 Cuvée Niclaire Pinot Noir">2005 Cuvée Niclaire Pinot Noir</A> -- 92 pts Wine Enthusiast 92 pts Pinot Report RELATED PRODUCTS <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product15 TITLE="Club Testarossa -Pinot Tasting Program">Club Testarossa -Pinot Tasting Program</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product14 TITLE="Club Testarossa -Vintner's Tasting Program">Club Testarossa -Vintner's Tasting Program</A> <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa" TITLE="Testarossa Vineyards Products">Testarossa Vineyards Products</A> <A HREF="http://www.testarossa.com">Testarossa Vineyards</A> Testarossa Vineyards Online Store powered by Nexternal <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce solutions">ecommerce solutions</A>
