February 5, 2021 - I really liked this wine - it doesn't seem to have faded yet. A lovely example of California Pinot Noir - full-bodied, rich, and a long fruity finish. My last bottle

April 8, 2020 - PnP. Perfect cork. Medium deep red. Intense nose of red fruits and blueberry. Good depth of flavor but a bit rough on the finish; I think this is beginning to fade. Not the finish I am used to from this wine/vineyard.

March 22, 2020 - Tasty ripe red cherry, floral, and spice notes on the nose and silky palate with moderate long finish.

September 3, 2018 - a lovely wine that is drinking nicely now - as with most CA PNs, I was disappointed with the lack of complexity in the nose - just straightforward mature red/black cherry fruit, but then what's not to like about that? - very full-bodied in the mouth with good acid-fruit-tannin balance - medium length 15 sec finish - a very good food wine for those who like new world PNs, but would not impress Burgundy lovers

May 2, 2017 - Rochioli Single Vineyard Pinots continue to be among my favorites. Although almost 9 years old, this West Block Pinot continues to deliver in every aspect. California Burgundy at it's best.
