Rich cherry, glycerin, cèpes. Beautiful expression of 2014 vintage

Opened Saturday night after a long day of work! Tried with Mike( Stephs) boyfriend and myself. Great nose but on trying very tight and restrained. It's needs a lot more time., after 2 hours it had begun to open of flavors of Strawberries and other berry fruit. Really nice. I learned my lesson on early opening of s young Great Pinot Noir! CB-94+ in the Future!

Still young and a little tight but showing beautiful expression of fleshy cherry. A keeper!

Another beautiful Rochioli Pinot Noir. Intense but not as overwhelming as the 2020. Elegant cherry flavors and a more restrained nose. Expensive at $75 but its price is reasonable given the quality.

Red cherry magnificence. Powerful California-style Pinot Noir with an intense cherry nose you can smell from across the room. Smooth and elegant flavor. Not complex but delicious. Worth its high $70 price tag.
