90pts Vinous

The 2022 Pinot Noir Estate is a gorgeous entry-level offering. Crushed red berry fruit, spice, blood orange, sage, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco are all finely knitted together in this silky, classy, lifted Pinot Noir. All the elements are so beautifully balanced.

Winemaker Notes

This Estate is a blend of our many different vineyard sites, with sixty seven percent Little Hill, eleven percent from Sweetwater, nine percent from West Block, nine percent East Block, and four percent Big Hill. This full bodied wine is complex and rich with the typical Rochioli character and the Classic Russian River Valley charm. Aged in French oak for 15 months, the wine displays a full body and silky texture finish, with a balanced structure.
