As 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.
