Note di degustazione
The 2011 Pinot Noir Rochioli Riverblock Vineyard is initially intense, but also comes across as compact and having limited depth. Already quite forward in its aromas and flavors, the 2011 gives the impression of being an early drinker. Autumn leaves, tobacco, dried black cherries and game are some of the nuances that struggle to fully blossom in the glass.

The softer, sexier, more sensual 2011 Pinot Noir Rochioli Riverblock Vineyard-s forest floor, pomegranate and black cherry notes are followed by a medium-bodied wine with abundant fruit. Undeniably a success for this vintage, it should drink well for 4-5 years. Alcohols in 2011 were not much lower than in some of the riper vintages, although they were definitely down. The 2011 Williams Selyem Chardonnays range between 13.9% (Heintz) to 14.5% (Olivet Lane). I tend to think this estate's Chardonnay program is underrated as it seems like their Pinot Noirs receive all the attention to the detriment of their Chardonnays, which can be brilliant. Tel.

Ruby-red. Highly perfumed, seductive bouquet of black raspberry, cherry-cola, star anise and potpourri. Intense red and dark berry flavors are sweetened by vanilla and cola qualities, with fine-grained tannins and bright acidity adding lift. The spicy element returns on the long, focused, floral finish.
