This is a clean, oaky and fairly simple Chardonnay. It satisfies the basic varietal requirements, with pineapple tart, buttered toast and cinnamon spice flavors. From Testarossa.

This shows simple flavors of orange and apricot juice wrapped into a creamy texture that seemingly finishes slightly sweet. The best thing is the acidity, which is brisk and stimulating.

Feels harshly acidic and somewhat green in the mouth, with minty, even vegetal flavors that, despite some cherry fruit, lack the richness you want from Pinot Noir. Oak layering doesn’t help. From Testarossa.

This smells weedy and green, but tastes a little richer, with flavors of baked cherry pie, mint and tobacco. It’s a good Pinot for drinking now.
