Huge and massive are just two of the words that describe this incredibly fruity wine. It’s intensely concentrated in pineapple and papaya flavors, and has a heavy layer of toasty oak. Drinks lusciously smooth and creamy, with a long, spicy finish. 1 Note

Testarossa’s basic Chard is more sumptuous than many other wineries’ best. It’s notably oaky, in the house style, with explosive smoke, toast, vanilla and char notes. The fruit was allowed to hang for a long time, and developed intensely ripe flavors of tropical fruits. It’s a bit flat, especially considering the sweetness, but delicious. 1 Note

Puts all the pieces of the puzzle together, combining ripe tropical fruit, ample sweet oak and coastal acidity, but the picture is a little blurry. The wine is decadently ripe and obvious. 1 Note

A nice blended Chardonnay that displays finely ripe tropical fruit flavors and bright acids, as well as a rich coating of oak. This is the winery’s basic Chard and showcases their flamboyant, New World style. 1 Note

Plenty of smoky, spicy oak on this Chard, along with ripe, orange, pineapple and apricot flavors. It’s a little rough around the edges, though. Drink now. 1 Note

This is a blend of several vineyards, instead of the winery’s usual single-vineyard Chards. It’s been tastefully assembled, and displays good Central Coast acidity framing tropical fruit and oak flavors with a stony, minerally edge. 1 Note
