2018 Graham Family Vineyard Pinot Noir
Russian River Valley AppellationWinemaker Tasting Notes
"Brick red hue. Aromas of cranberry, roasted strawberry, cinnamon, and papaya unite with secondary notes of red cherry, cola, and grapefruit. Upon taste, there is a focus towards red fruits and citrus that leads to a creamy, pleasing quality. Plush texture, fine tannins, and modest acidity give way to a finish that is intricate, fresh, and decadent. Enjoy now through 2028." ~ Director of Winemaking Bill Brosseau

Graham Family Vineyard is located in the heart of the Russian River Valley appellation and is the only vineyard Testarossa Winery sources Pinot Noir from north of the Winery. Graham Family is located in the sub-appellation of Green Valley in western Sonoma County where the vines enjoy the rich Gold Ridge sandy loam soil with its unique water-holding capacity. The vineyard is just less than 10 miles from the coast and has that long growing season that Pinot Noir loves. Graham Family Vineyard consists of 9 acres of Pinot Noir. Testarossa has been proudly making Graham Family Pinot Noir since 2004.
