2017 Rochioli "Estate" Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
93
Jeb Dunnuck
Review Date: 06/2019As with the Chardonnay, the 2017 Pinot Noir is incredibly high-quality. Mostly destemmed (there are 10% whole clusters) and aged 15 months in barrel, this ruby-colored effort from the Russian River Valley gives up a great nose of black cherries, smoked herbs, and spring flowers, with a hint of forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, with sweet tannins and terrific balance, it's another classic wine from Rochioli that will evolve nicely for upwards of a decade. Drink through 2029.

Notes
The Rochioli family were Italian immigrants that settled in the Russian River Valley in the early 1900s and soon after started growing grapes for simple jug wines. Joe Rochioli Jr. planted Pinot Noir in 1968 and some of the pioneering wineries of the area were the first buyers. The family released its first wine under its own label in 1987.
