2018 Rochioli Estate Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

14.5% alc., $64. A blend of all the single vineyards making up the Rochioli Estate: 40% Sweetwater, 39% Little Hill, 12% Big Hill, 6% West Block and 3% East Block. · Moderately dark garnet color in the glass. The nose opens over time to reveal aromas of black cherry cola, spice and warm brioche. A charming wine featuring the essence of black cherry accompanied by a spice and savory herb component. Easygoing, with balanced tannins and a slight sense of alcohol on the modest finish. Score: 92. Reviewed August 22, 2021
