Cuvee Los Gatos is a special wine made by Testarossa Winery to pay homage to the town of Los Gatos, where the historic winery was built in 1888 and continues to produce wine today.

Working closely wtih top growers around the state, Testarossa Winery has produced this limited release, supple and approachable Pinot Noir. The grapes were sourced from Monterey County. In particular, a majority of the fruit came from vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands appellation - one of the state’s best known regions for world-class Pinot Noir. The Highlands' close proximity to Monterey Bay makes for a very cool climate, with one of California’s longest growing seasons. The resulting slow, gentle ripening allows for full flavor development on the vine. Testarossa’s partnership with the top vineyards in the SLH insure only the highest quality fruit makes it to the winery.
