Item Description
2010 Testarossa Pinot Noir - Bien Nacido Vineyard, Santa Maria - 97 Points - Vinous
Item Special Note
A vivid, totally alive wine, the 2010 Pinot Noir Bien Nacido is absolutely impeccable. Dark cherries, plums, mint, cloves and new leather are some of the many notes that take shape in the glass. The 2010 stands out for its delineation, nuance and breathtaking finesse. Cool veins of minerality support the finish. Next to the Solomon Hills, the Bien Nacido Pinot is a little more savory and aromatically nuanced, while the fruit is less overt. It will be fascinating to compare the two wines as they age in bottle. Rich cherry and spice fruit with an elegant overlay of vanillin-oak. Bright acidity; very food friendly. Good acidity keeps the wine bright and food-versatile. Grilled salmon or roasted turkey are a natural with this wine.
