2004 J. Rochioli Pinot Noir River Block Vineyard

The single vineyard wines include the 250-case cuvee of 2004 Pinot Noir River Block. Sweet raspberry, cherry, and cola scents jump from the glass of this dark ruby-tinged wine. Broad and expansive in the mouth with admirable purity and precision, sweet tannin, and good acidity, this is a stunning Pinot Noir to drink over the next 7-10 years. Kudos to Tom Rochioli, one of the truly great guys of the wine business. Tel. (707) 433-2305; Fax (707) 433-2358
