Winemaker Notes
Medium red color. Aromas of cherry, black pepper, and cloves jump readily out of the glass. Hints of anise, strawberry, and some citrus blossoms lie in the background. Flavors of cherry and black pepper carry through the palate of this wine. The texture of this wine is quite lush with soft, expansive tannins and lively acidity. Paired with a nice dash of oak, this medium weight Pinot Noir ends with a lingering, delicate finish. Drink now through 2013.

Testarossa Vineyards, located in the historic 19th century Novitiate winery of Los Gatos, was founded in 1993 by husband and wife team of Rob and Diana Jensen. The name Testarossa (Italian for "red-head") was a nickname given to Rob Jensen when he was a university student in Italy. It was there, also, that the Jensens further developed their passion for good food and wine. The Jensens are dedicated to making small lots of vineyard desgnated wines from only the best vineyards in the cool, ocean-influenced counties of Monterey, Santa Barbara and Sonoma.
