We opened our last bottle almost five years ago, yet my notes are very close to that tasting and we gave it the same score. Neither of us believed we were drinking the 2008 but given that it was purchased from the winery at release, no doubt that it was. Rochioli Pinots clearly age very well and in a good vintage can clearly go twenty years. Deep ruby red color. Raspberries, strawberries, cherries, earthiness, and hints of floral and minerals in the nose and flavor. A complex wine, perfectly balanced, and a very long finish. Delicious! A perfect pairing with the thick grilled pork chops. 96/97

This was a fantastic Pinot Noir. At eleven years old, still great color in the glass, vibrant fruit, and wonderful Pinot characteristics. Raspberries, strawberries, cherries, earthiness, and hints of floral and minerals. A complex wine, perfectly balanced, and a very long finish. Wow! Yum!

Still fresh and vibrant-lovely Pinot that is sadly a thing of the past ( for now I hope)
