Five single-vineyard CA Pinots vs 5 Burgs: Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanee + three 1er Crus Beaunes. All 2005s. Rob Jensen, owner, and Sue Ryan, lead wine educator at Testarossa joined our group for the tasting. Great wine, meaty

A very nice Pinot. A fruit forward start with hints of spice, and notes of cherry and raspberry. There is something about this that makes it special, maybe it’s how smooth it is or how the fruits blend together to create a unique flavor.

One of our favorite Testatossa wines. This one is from the Gary Pisoni vineyard in Santa Lucia. Consistently good year after year.

Not usually a Pinot girl because I find them a bit too light. This one has a nice balanced richness to it, more depth than expected. Really enjoyable.
