Testarossa Vineyards Pinot Noir |
2005 Fritschen Vineyard Pinot Noir Russian River Valley
Deep, rich red hue. Initial aromas of cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper. Not before too long, does the ripe cherry and raspberry come to the forefront. This wine is very rich and expansive in the palate, showing more fruit than spice. The silky tannins lead to immediate gratification, yet this wine will offer so much more over the years to come. Drink now through 2014.
