The 2023 Pinot Noir Estate bursts from the glass with scents of cranberry, blackberry, juniper, Fernet and forest floor. The medium-bodied palate is open and inviting. Waves of spicy fruit are delivered in a silky texture and energized by vibrant acidity, and it has a very long, nuanced finish.

A polished, silky, pretty and streamlined version, redolent of blood orange, warmed peach, bitter cherry and damson plum fruit. Offers light accents of savory and rose petal for perfume, with a lingering sandalwood edge on the tail end.

90pts Vinous

The 2023 Pinot Noir Estate is an elegant, restrained wine. Crushed flowers, cedar, sweet pipe tobacco, mint and blood orange are all beautifully lifted. Silky, bright and beautifully balanced, the 2023 is pure and total class. Most of this fruit is from the Little Hill and Sweetwater parcels.

Winemaker Notes

This Estate is a blend of our many different vineyard sites, with forty four percent Little Hill, twenty four percent from Sweetwater, fourteen percent from West Block, ten percent East Block, and eight percent Big Hill. This full-bodied wine is complex and rich with typical Rochioli character and classic Russian River Valley charm. Aged in French oak for 15 months, the wine displays a silky texture finish with a balanced structure.
