Tasting notes
The 2019 Pinot Noir Rochioli Riverblock Vineyard is highly perfumed with rose petal floral aromas, woodland spice, and damp earth. The palate gushes with ripe cherry and plum fruit on the mid-palate, as well as cedar and baking spice, with more rich structure. Drink this over the next 10 or so years.

The 2019 Pinot Noir Rochioli Riverblock Vineyard is a stunning Pinot Noir from vines planted in 1989. Layered and pure, it takes its time to unfold to scents of cranberries, blueberries, orange peel, licorice, graphite and forest floor. The palate explodes with intense, sweet berry fruits, accents of Angostura bitters and earth adding to its complexity. Powdery and seamless, it finishes with tremendous length and promises to be very long lived in the cellar. Wow!
