November’s 4th Friday was a big hit. There is no way I’ll be able to upload all the wines, nor give them the reviews they deserve, but there were a few worthy of mentioning!
Very good, and at this age, there is a lot of burgundy characteristics. Little trace of oak. Lots of pure and ripe (but not overly sweet) fruit...lemon oil, honeysuckle, pear, passion fruit, and mineral notes. Good acidity and a lengthy finish.

Awesome fruit explosion, great body and just a hint of oak. Keep up great work Tom Rochioli.

All the smokey, toasty oak in a well knit package. Bright, rich, poised and delicious.

2013 vintage in January 2021. Just wow, at least for my taste. Really well balanced with good body, some tropical fruit and fully integrated oak. Every sip says “I want another”. So satisfying. Wish I had 10 more. Plenty of backbone for 2 more years. Won’t get better but will hold if you are lucky enough to have it.

Big, rich and fantastic. Wonderful notes of peach, pear and green melon. Oak more pronounced than last time I had it but still incredibly enjoyable.
