PnP. Medium red. Not as overt on the nose as this vineyard is when younger. On the palate nice red fuits and balancing acidity, though nothing special. Last bottle. Good but no better.

-- popped and poured -- -- tasted non-blind over approx. 1.5 hours --
Ripe, concentrated red berries --- mostly raspberry. Medium bodied. Not tannic. Medium-low acidity. Still entirely primary, but it's in a nice relaxed spot where, at least, the fruit is winning over the oak. Despite its ripe nature, this does barely hold a crisp edge. 14.5% alc. is fairly well-integrated. Drink now and over the next 5 years.

The smart move, if and when you can swing it, is walking into a wine store, like Flatiron Wines NYC, and buying EVERY single Rochioli they have on site.
(The few you don’t buy will be gone when you come for them a few days later.)

Must be close to or at peak. Lush fruit with depth and balance. Very nice. Unmistakably California but not over the top, no burn, lengthy finish.
