  My note is consistent with previous notes - very sweet fruit - lots of candied cherries. It's really good.

  Ruby red. Cherries, raspberries and minerality with hints of spice and floral in the nose. Concentrated flavor of black raspberries, blackberries, plums and black cherries. Nice acidity and complexity and very well balanced. Long velvety finish. Drinking very well right now 93-94

  PnP. Medium dark red. Classic RRV nose of sweet berry compote - especially boysenberry. Intense on the palate but with some alcohol poking through on the finish. May come together with more time or air but also may begin to fall apart. Not alot of complexity. Typical but not that enjoyable to my palate.

  Big Pinot with fruit and heat to match. This could easily age many more years as this wine doesn’t seem to be 10 years old.
  
  Black raspberries and cherry flavors dominate. Please give this time to open as it did get even better with a 1 hour decant. Yum!

  PnP. Medium red, Classic RRV nose of red and blackberries as well as intense cherry. Initially a bit rough on the palate but this smoothes out nicely with air. Still not much in the way of secondary/teriary development and could age for another 3-5 years without a problem. The Rochioli SVDs are quite long lived - would like to taste at age 20. This really improved on second and third day being stored in the fridge, so could use a good decant now; still didn't show a lot of conplexity but the fruit is gorgeous.
