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. <br> -Bill Brosseau, Winemaker <p> 253 cases produced <b> <p> </b> <p><b>92 pts <i>Wine Enthusiast</b></i> <br> <i>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. </i> -Steve Heimoff<p> </b> <p><b>90 pts <i>Connoisseurs' Guide</b></i> <br> <i>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. </i>-Charles Olken<p> <b><p>NOTE:</b> 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</P> <P> <LI>SKU: 05PBR1 </P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Category1" TITLE="&lt;b&gt;Wine&lt;/b&gt;"><b>Wine</b></A> / <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Category4" TITLE="&lt;b&gt;Pinot Noir&lt;/b&gt;"><b>Pinot Noir</b></A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product174 TITLE="2007 Niclaire Pinot Noir">2007 Niclaire Pinot Noir</A> -- <b>94 pts <i>Wine Enthusiast</i></b><br><b>92 pts <i>Connoisseurs' Guide</i></b><br> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product145 TITLE="2007 Palazzio Pinot Noir">2007 Palazzio Pinot Noir</A> -- <b>91 pts <i>Wine & Spirits<i> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product146 TITLE="2007 Palazzio Pinot Noir - 375ml Case">2007 Palazzio Pinot Noir - 375ml Case</A> -- <b>91 pts <i>Wine & Spirits<i> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product162 TITLE="2007 Bien Nacido Vineyard Pinot Noir">2007 Bien Nacido Vineyard Pinot Noir</A> -- <b>94 pts <i> Wine Enthusiast</i><br>90 pts<i> Wine & Spirits</i><br>90 pts<i> Wine Advocate</i></b><br> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product180 TITLE="2007 Brosseau Vineyard Pinot Noir">2007 Brosseau Vineyard Pinot Noir</A> -- <b>New Release!</b> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product171 TITLE="2007 Fritschen Vineyard Pinot Noir">2007 Fritschen Vineyard Pinot Noir</A> -- <b>New Release!</b><br> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product164 TITLE="2007 Graham Family Vineyard Pinot Noir">2007 Graham Family Vineyard Pinot Noir</A> -- <b>91 pts <i>Connoisseurs' Guide</b></i> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product173 TITLE="2007 Pisoni Vineyard Pinot Noir">2007 Pisoni Vineyard Pinot Noir</A> -- <b>New Release!</b><br><b>92 pts <i>Wine Enthusiast</i></b><br> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product157 TITLE="2007 Rosella's Vineyard Pinot Noir">2007 Rosella's Vineyard Pinot Noir</A> -- <b>93 pts <i>Wine Enthusiast</b></i> <br> <b>91 pts <i>Connoisseurs' Guide</b></i><br><b>91 pts <i>Wine Advocate</b></i> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product169 TITLE="2007 Sanford &amp; Benedict Vineyard Pinot Noir">2007 Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Pinot Noir</A> -- <b>New Release!</b><br><b>93 pts <i>Wine Enthusiast</b></i><br><b>90 pts <i>Wine Spectator</b></i> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product172 TITLE="2007 Tondre Grapefield Pinot Noir">2007 Tondre Grapefield Pinot Noir</A> -- <b>92 pts <i>Wine Enthusiast</i></b><br><b>91 pts <i>Wine Advocate</i></b><br><b>90 pts <i>Connoisseurs' Guide</i></b><br> </P> <BR clear=left><BR><P> <B>RELATED PRODUCTS</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product15 TITLE="Club Testarossa -Pinot Tasting Program">Club Testarossa -Pinot Tasting Program</A><BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product14 TITLE="Club Testarossa -Vintner's Tasting Program">Club Testarossa -Vintner's Tasting Program</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa" TITLE="Testarossa Winery Products">Testarossa Winery Products</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.testarossa.com">Testarossa Wines from Testarossa Vineyards, Bien Nacido Vineyard "Elder Series" Chardonnay, Cuvée Niclaire Pinot Noir, Diana's Reserve Chardonnay, Fritschen Vineyard Pinot Noir, Garys' Vineyard Pinot Noir, Graham Family Vineyard Pinot Noir, La Cruz Vineyard Chardonnay, La Cruz Vineyard Pinot Noir</A> <BR>Testarossa Winery Online Store powered by Nexternal <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce solutions">ecommerce solutions</A>
