Very crisp and full bodied. Floral aromas along with crisp apple and fresh apricot on the pallet. Definitely young and will continue to get richer as it ages. Lay this one down for a couple more years.

Young it tastes if rich cherry and strawberry. Has an earthy quality that one would come to expect of a pinot 5 years its senior. Acidity in Rochioli wine is always spot on, which allows these wines to age and this one is no different. Absolutely fantastic now as it will be in another 5 years.

Rich for a Sauv Blanc since it is lightly oaked. Needs about an hour to really open up and let the fruit and richness catch up with each other. Very "citrusy" when first opened. Still fruity with notes of citrus and tropical fruit. Acidity remains firm and leaves you wanting to take another sip. Another fantastic Sauvignon Blanc from the Rochioli Vineyard.
