Ruby red in color. 14.4% ABV. Intriguing nose of red fruits, sarsaparilla, spice cake and forest floor. Medium body with exquisite acidity. Fruit forward and opulent. Cherry, cranberry, pomegranate and spice on the palate. Delicious and an absolute pleasure to drink but lacking the finesse and elegance I have come to expect from the Rochioli Single Vineyard Designates. This should drink well to the twenty year mark.

This has obviously lost some fruit but it is still drinking very well. Color has bricking. On the nose black tea. Cranberries, black cherries, some smokiness. Still has some tannins which are probably never going to resolve. But a delicious RRV pinot. Drink.
