Deep ruby in color offering aromas of strawberry,ripe cherry, forest floor and underbrush. The palate is dusty with cherry, blackberry, and cola. Lively acidity and a long finish. Tasted twice 12 months apart.

Bing cherries rich with a great mouth feel. This 2014 Rochioli Pinot Noir is really good. Available at WineWorks Marlton. Rochioli is on the ball in making Great Pinot. This was a gift from TP. You know who your are. True friend. CB 94+ in my book.

I wish the rest of Russian River Pinot was like this. Reminded me of Burgundy.

Tight and restrained when opened, chilled down to 60• degrees , after twenty minutes great expression of black cherries and raspberry, with just a hint of strawberry. Opened slowly, I feel this great bottle needs another 6 months to evolve and express itself. I give this future star a solid 93 Rating. CB

We had the 2014 Vintage on 12/11-12/2021. There were tastes of blackberry, black cherry, cola and oak. Smooth finish, medium bodied and a good mouth feel.
