Deep tawny purple. Opaque. Great nose with briary sweet fruit. Nice in the mouth. A little steminess. Finish was in need of a bit more. The nose is the memorable thing.

Nice color and balance with nice acidity . Barely tastes like a Pinot. Great nose and long finish

Youthful at fourteen, kept revealing more of itself hours after decanting and was a crazy good with bison ribeye.

Gorgeous color and aromas of black cherry and blackberries. Entry is rich and smooth with lingering aftertaste. Extremely enjoyable wine which unfortunately is no longer available from this vineyard plot.

Enjoyed the West Block two weeks ago. The East Block was vibrant, fruit forward and tannins that were still developing. Definitely the pick between the two. Can be enjoyed now and years to come.

Everything a Pinot should be and more. This was a very close 2nd to WOTN. Wonderful cherry and strawberry fruit with the perfect amount of spice on the finish. Perfect age right now and everyone was blown away by this. Birthday Dinner

Rochioli East Block Pinot Noir 1999
カリフォルニアでは珍しく、あまりパワフルな印象を受けない赤。その中で熟成感がしっかりあり、酸と果実味が絶妙なバランスで味わえる。流石のロキオリ・ピノノワール最高峰。
