Rochioli Riverblock Vineyard Pinot Noir

#fabulous #pinot #rrv @Rochioli Winery

Red apple skin, brown sugar, and a whisper of oak give way to raspberry, cranberry, leather, dried flowers, and dried citrus peel.

Best US Pinot I've had in a long time. Nuff said

Better than expected , still youthful. Needed to open up about

Raspberry purée. Robust mid palate with strong tannin.

Tannic ripe raspberries

Beautiful nose and tannins. Dark cherries, raspberries, and earthy spices… Perfect with grilled lamb. Oxidation seemed to be lurking in the wings, so very happy to have opened this bottle in time.

Great organics and mouth feel that softens as it opens up.

Leather and plum and cola and fall spice. Tar and pipe tobacco with a long finish. Fantastic.

Layers of cherry with moist earth and chocolate with root beer on a forever finish.
