- Grapes from old vines, sustainably farmed Testa Vineyards
- Miss Wineburg is a 100 point winemaker
WINEMAKER: Rebekah Wineburg (Rudd Estate, Bucella, and Quintessa)
WHAT WE TASTED: This 2014 vintage is an elegant wine that expresses the very best of the Testa Vineyard. Soft and supple with notes of raspberry, plum, nutmeg and allspice. Because it is a true field blend, the grapes percentages changes every year. Awesome nature! Grapes are brought to Napa where winemaking is handcrafted in small lots.
