2021 Testarossa Tondré Grapefield Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir

14.2% alc., pH 3.18, TA 0.81, RS . 07, 504 cases, $76. Release December 2022. 12-year-old vines in a SIP Certified vineyard. Aged 11 months in French oak barrels, 70% new. · Dark garnet color in the glass. Aromas of blackberry, baking spice and toasty oak lead to a mid-weight plus styled wine with a bounty of blueberry and blackberry fruit. A masculine wine, with heavyweight fruit that coats the tongue. Succulent rather than complex and not for those seeking Pinot delicacy. Score: 90. Reviewed December 3, 2022
