The Winery
Rochioli
Situated in one of the most diverse geographical land plots of the Russian River Valley, the Rochioli Vineyards and Winery is known for producing terroir-driven wines with a minimal-intervention approach. The fruit harvested from the differing blocks are singularly fermented as a means to showcase the unique vines, some of which are among some of the oldest vineyards in California. With silky Pinot Noir, rich Chardonnay and several other well thought-out wines, this family-run producer is a valuable expression of the Sonoma Valley.
Tasting Notes
- WS96
- Very rich and deeply concentrated, this extraordinary wine is focused on a dense core of blackberry, with a touch of jam, showing hints of raspberry and wilted rose as well. Firm, tight, concentrated and pleasantly tannic, this has a lot going for it.
- WE94
- Three Corner is a block in the estate vineyard that was planted in 1974. The 2010 is very rich and full bodied,—dramatically so—packed with cherries and pomegranates and savory spices and minerals. The power reflects the vineyard's site in a warmer part of the valley. But the wine never loses sight of elegance, and, like all Rochioli's vineyard designated Pinot Noirs, it is in need of age. Don't even think of popping the cork before 2016, and the wine should develop for many years afterward. Cellar Selection
