2020 Rosemary’s Vineyard Pinot Noir
Arroyo Grande Valley AVA


Tasting Notes
“Deep red hue. Enchanting scents of ripe cranberry, boysenberry, anise, and jasmine start off this Pinot Noir. With some air, notes of flint, dill, and dried cherry offer some verve and complexity. The complex aroma profile shows beautifully equally on the palate, paired with modest acidity and fine tannins. There is great energy and complexity as this wine enters the finish. Enjoy now through 2029.”
~Bill Brosseau, Director of Winemaking

“Moderate garnet color in the glass. Vivid aromas of well-spiced cherry and easy oak. Well-crafted and charming in a mid-weight style, with a caressing mouthfeel and generous flavors of black cherry, black raspberry, cocoa, and toasty oak. The tannins are refined making for good approachability. Very slick mouthfeel. Not a blockbuster but a seductive wine. I rarely encounter a 100% 667 clone wine that is this complete.”

Past Wine Scores
Rosemary’s Vineyard
Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, just six miles to the Southwest and surrounding the home of Talley Vineyards’ co-founder Rosemary Talley, Rosemary’s Vineyard is one of the coolest sites in the Arroyo Grande Valley Appellation. The cool climate and low yields, as well as exceptional soil, lend to the elements that produce this acclaimed fruit. Working closely with the Talley Family, Testarossa owners, Rob and Diana Jensen, and Director of Winemaking Bill Brosseau, have created this very exceptional Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with classic old world flavors.
