14.5% alcohol. This is drinking very well. Medium cherry color, with no signs of age to it. Pretty nose of blackberry, raspberry, and black cherry fruit. Good supporting spice notes.

Not sure why everyone else is rating this so low. This wine is a stunner! It is drinking beautifully right now. Typical Rochioli pinot in that it has great fruit and is very well balanced. Had lots of bright acidity in its youth but the years have really softened it. Just a great pinot that would rival many top Burgundies. Will probably last a couple more years but think it is peaking now.
