91 points, Antonio Galloni for Vinous: "Rochioli's 2012 Pinot Noir Sweetwater wraps around the palate with lovely understated finesse. Sweet red berries, mint and cinnamon meld together in the glass. High-toned blood orange and citrus notes add brightness on the finish. In 2012, the Sweetwater is beautifully layered and impeccably balanced." (02/2014)

Vinous
“Dark red. Black raspberry, cherry, rose pastille and licorice on the smoky nose. Powerful dark fruit flavors are lifted by tangy acidity, showing very good depth and focus. Rich, silky and vibrant, with a core of minerality giving the wine an impression of elegance. Finishes sweet, smoky and long, with smooth tannins lending shape to the opulent, clinging berry flavors. (ST)” (05/2014)
