2007 Rochioli Pinot Noir

Rochioli--Russian River Star

The Rochioli family began farming in the Russian River Valley over 70 years ago, but it was not until the third generation came to the farm in the mid 80's that they first began making wine. The fifty years experience in growing grapes in the Russian River Valley catapulted the Rochioli brand to the top almost immediately. Now, twenty years later the great Pinot Noir and Chardonnay they produce are always highly sought after and demonstrate the very finest that California produces.

Reviews

Robert Parker 88-90 Points

The 2007 Pinot Noir Estate displays delicious plum, raspberry and black cherry notes, with hints of earth and roasted herbs. The wine is medium to full-bodied, already delicious, and should drink nicely for 7-8 years.

Full red. Vibrant, spicy aromas of redcurrant, strawberry and fresh rose. Lithe red berry flavors are impressively precise and tangy, offering very good focus and slow-mounting sweetness. Finishes on a deeper cherry note, with excellent clarity and length.
