2018 Niclaire Pinot Noir
Available for JRS and Platinum members.Winemaker Tasting Notes
"Deep red hue. Brilliant aromas of citrus, red cherry, jasmine, and sage lead this enticing Pinot Noir blend. Secondary notes of cranberry and roasted strawberry segue to the palate and intensify along with the primary aromas. Juicy tannins and vibrant acidity offer a lively experience and continue into layers of intricacy and persistence on the finish, lending this wine to many years of enjoyment to come. Enjoy now through 2030."

95 points, Anthony Dias Blue, The SOMM Journal
"Deep ruby color; smooth, juicy cherry with racy acidity and excellent structure; silky and crisp with tart cherry and tangy fruit; long and stylish."
94 points, Connoisseurs' Guide
"Yet another winner in Testarossa's long line of Niclaire successes, the latest is a deep, emphatically fruity edition that, as usual, is as finely polished as it is so very rich. It is an indelibly varietal effort of great range, concentration, textural suppleness and striking length that is so generous and outgoing in its youth that it is bound to tempt hurried drinking, yet even if not a "structured" wine in the tight and tannic sense, it will age for years and years, on the strength of its estimable depth."
