Deep ruby color. Raspberry aromas. Flavors of black cherry, raspberry and earth. Bitter chalky finish. These Rochioli Pinot's are just not working for me in general. Not sure what all the fuss is about. 14.5% alcohol.

Dark purple color. Black fruit with some charred oak notes on the nose. Charred oak also dominates the mid palate and finish. The fruit seems to be in hiding. Completely shut down I am assuming. Chewy tannins. Needs time. Respectfully left unrated. 14.5% alcohol.

Dark ruby color. Spicy red fruit aromatics. Flavors of raspberry, cherry, anise and earth. Very well balanced. You can sense the extreme depth and complexity of this wine even thought it is quite shutdown at the moment. Full bodied. Very firm tannins. Not giving an inch. Hold for 5-10 more years at least. This wine showed much more 3 years ago. 13% alcohol.
