Brilliant! Makes a strong argument for holding CA Pinot Noir back as long as you can. We’ve had several wines from from this estate by Rochioli and WS and this has been the oldest & best by far. Layer upon layer of red berries & fruit flavors and a light, pleasing entry. If you have these wines cellared have no fear as this was fresh and vibrant over two hours after we opened it.

Aged elegance now for this wine with lovely cherry fruit and a an interesting smoky, mineral component. Hints of oak and spice on the soft, complex finish. Nice but time to drink up in my opinion.

Really in a perfect place now showing sweet dark cherry fruit with good acidity and a superb finish with nice complexity and notes of cherry licorice and spice.

Bight and fully resolved. Sweet red cherry pie filling. Not heavy or overdone, but a bit monolithic for me. Fans of the style may like this more.
