Testarossa always does a good job at keeping Garys' Pinots, which can be out-sized, tame. The '05 shows the vineyard's typicity in the big, ripe fruit and fullness of mouthfeel, yet stays elegant and polished. Cherries, black raspberries, sugared rosehip tea and sweetly smoky oak are the flavors, although the wine is fully dry on the finish. It will easily sustain some bottle age. Drink now–2010.
