2011 Rochioli Estate Grown Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.5% alc.,
$54. Primarily sourced from Sweetwater Vineyard and includes new West Block
plantings. Aged 15 months in French oak barrels.
·
Moderate reddish-purple color
in the glass. Big, effusive nose of ripe Bing cherries. Medium weight flavors of
dark red cherries with accents of cola, oak vanillin and loamy earth in the
background. A real crowd pleaser with that signature Middle Reach luscious
cherry fruit, but tempered nicely by balanced tannins and acidity to make a
complete wine that finishes bright and juicy. Very good.
