Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Rochioli’s winemaker has crafted a fine, silky Pinot. The flavors veer toward red cherries and cola, with an edge of sweet oak, while acidity is tart. The wine finishes sharp, but should soften and improve with five to seven years in the cellar.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A difficult wine made problematic by the vintage. The cherry fruit tastes overtly sweet, and I suspect there’s some residual sugar, the tradeoff for keeping alcohol moderate. Most unfortunate, because everything else works.
