Matured for 16 months in 73% new oak, the 2020 Pinot Noir Rochioli Riverblock Vineyard is exuberant and fruity, its red cherry fruit accented by tones of charcuterie, tobacco, bitters and allspice. The palate is surprisingly soft and supple, with addicting, spicy flavors. It unwinds and gains intensity as it spends time in the glass, so offer it an hour or two in the decanter. 452 cases were made.

The 2019 Pinot Noir Rochioli Riverblock Vineyard is a stunning Pinot Noir from vines planted in 1989. Layered and pure, it takes its time to unfold to scents of cranberries, blueberries, orange peel, licorice, graphite and forest floor. The palate explodes with intense, sweet berry fruits, accents of Angostura bitters and earth adding to its complexity. Powdery and seamless, it finishes with tremendous length and promises to be very long lived in the cellar. Wow!

The 2016 Pinot Noir Rochioli Riverblock Vineyard is pale to medium ruby-purple and opens with touches of tar and scorched earth over scents of grilled meats, graphite, red and black cherries, wild blackberries and dried herbs with a savory/minerally undercurrent.

It has a frame of grainy tannins and lip-smacking acidity, finishing very long and energetic. Give this another couple of years in bottle. 776 cases produced.
