PnP. Opens with cherry, roses, spice, raspberry, pomegranate, some underbrush. The palate shows more raspberry, pomegranate, cherry, spice and floral. Medium body with silky tannins in a long smooth finish. Good acidity to balance the fruit.

Well liked by everyone at the Mikado dinner. Sharp minerality to support the black cherry and berry flavors, but the nose was the real star, all rose leaves and sweet spice.

Clear ruby. PnP this is quite tart and needs some air to settle out. Quite sharp on first look. Lovely rose petal and powdered raspberry candy flavors with a creamy feel once it gets some air. The suggested drinking window of 2017-2022 may be correct. I’m not convinced this has much upside and would drink soon while it has so much juicy flavor. YFS

Just a wonderful Russian River pinot. Rochioli's best. I love West Block.

Beautiful dark red cherry, floral, and cedar notes on the expressive nose and silky layered palate with a long finish. Simply delicious!
