2012 Testarossa Winery Sierra Madre Vineyard, Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir 750 mL

The 2012 vintage in the Santa Maria Valley was picture perfect with no significant weather episodes, creating a long growing season with record hang time producing complex and intense fruit. The Sierra Madre Vineyard in the Santa Maria Valley is owned by Doug and Jan Circle. It sits at 215 ft. above sea level and consists of 155 acres, 91 of Chardonnay and 64 of Pinot Noir. It is the most northern and one of the western-most vine-yards in the Santa Maria Valley, only 15 miles from the coast, and benefits greatly from its unique marine influence. It is also one of the few valleys in the state that run East/West as opposed to North/South. An exceptionally cool growing season encourages slow ripening over a long period of time, allow-ing for the development of structure and flavor intensity.

2012 Kyra Pinot Gris Columbia Valley 750 mL

In 1999 Bruce and Kyra Baerlocher purchased an apple orchard in Central Washington on the Wahluke Slope and converted half of it to wine grapes. Kyra, with a B.S. degree in Bacteriology from the University of Idaho, started making wine in small private lots. Our first commercial release of 600 cases in 2006 included a 2004 Pinot Noir and a 2005 Pinot Gris. Our vineyards have expanded, Pheasant Vineyard now includes 75 acres, and Purple Sage Vineyard encompasses 100 acres. Although our vineyards are on the Wahluke Slope, our home has been in Moses Lake, Washington for over 20 years and this is where we began our winery operation. We moved to a larger location in 2007, a 5200 square foot building that is part of the Port of Moses Lake and were able to include a tasting room in the operation. Today we produce about 2000 cases per year with wines from our own vineyards as well as those we contract from others. Our best-selling wines include our award-winning Chenin Blanc and our Washington State Pinot Noir. Kyra is the Winemaker and handles all the winery operations while Bruce oversees the vineyard operation in addition to his day job as the Chief Financial Officer of a large farm and custom crush operation. Our wines are approachable in style and price. We focus on food-friendly varietals and we submit them…
