2013. After 20 minutes, this youngster is opening up beautifully. Ripe dark cherries, dusty forest blackberry and clove. Really expressive and you can't beat the price compared to other rochioli pinots. Out of this world qpr....Add cocoa powder and chocolate cherries as it continues to open

Textbook RRV Pinot. Needs a few more months in the bottle. Cherry overtones backed up with a 'lil spice and clove. I drink this wine commando.

Really nice warm red fruit and Asian spice, I'd like a hint more acidity, but otherwise enjoyable

2013 vintage. Tasted with Terry today. Will be a great wine but needs 6-12 months time to develop. Big aroma of alluring sandalwood spice and bing cherry

Classic CA Pinot. Little under ripe oak to cover lack of fruit. Light red in glass. Nice fruit underneath some candied strawberry poking through. Too expensive for this but rochiolli heritage so worth. A try.
