Testarossa Palazzio Pinot Noir Central Coast 2008

Purchase Testarossa Palazzio Pinot Noir Central Coast 2008

CONNOISSEUR'S GUIDE REVIEW: 90 POINTS Palazzio is the name of Testarossa's lesser-priced Central Coast blend, yet there is nothing about this version that suggests other than top-line Pinot Noir. A bit sweeter and more fully expressed than most of its vineyard-designate siblings in terms of obvious ripeness, it is a lush, full-bodied wine that is long on both black cherry fruit and rich oak. Its inklings of last-minute heat are made moot by service with food, and it is sufficiently well-balanced to grow for a few years.
