The 2009 Pinot Noir Rochioli Vineyard shows good mid-palate pliancy and depth along with a supple personality best suited for drinking over the next handful of years. Sweet red cherries, flowers and spices flow through to the long finish in this fairly restrained medium-bodied Pinot. I think it is reasonable to expect more of a wine made from Rochioli fruit, especially considering it is frankly a privilege to be able to source this quality of fruit in the first place. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2015. Tel. (707) 433-6616
