this is certainly one of testarossa's best 2011 pinot noirs. the winery purchases most of its fruit, but in this case, the vineyard is co-owned by testarossa, and winemaker bill brosseau had complete control in the vineyard. the wine is gorgeous, complex and ageable. beyond the exquisite raspberry and blueberry fruit is a mineral-derived savoriness that makes it firm in the mouth. gorgeous now, this single-vineyard wine should age well for at least 12 years.
