Full bodied, spicy, and a bit earthy. Excellent — a year ago
Another excellent Testarossa Pinot….this one on the nose was as fruity as expected but on the palate more refined, slightly earthy even, probably the age….agree that the Testarossas bring darker tones that distinguishes them from other good Pinots…perfect with pan seared duck breast, befitting the season — 4 years ago
Super smooth full bodied with cherry notes — 5 years ago
Silky smooth. Easy to pair (burgers were great) or not. To quote CWC, “aromas of ripe cherry, roasted strawberry, lemon zest, papaya, cranberry, orange, and oak spice…” “citrus and red fruit on the palate” “with refreshing acidity and polished tannin…” I would like more please 😬 — 5 years ago
Decanted 2+ hours….seriously funky nose early but mellowed out and turned into very austere yet still strong fruit, mostly plum, not a hint of acidity. Like a middle aged Bordeaux. Love Testarossa — 5 years ago

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. — 4 months ago
Decent bottle with wonderfully warm and inviting atmosphere. Bold taste that stands separate from the labels more well known offerings of pinot noirs and chardonnays. — 2 years ago

This is a pure Pinot Noir nose with strong cherry and spice aromas. The flavors coat the tongue and leads to along finish with citrus overtones. — 2 months ago
