Note di degustazione
Dark red. Captivating aromas of raspberry, strawberry and sexy oak spice. Sweet, lush and round, with terrific sap and lift to the fruit-driven flavors of red berries and spices. Finishes firm but thoroughly ripe, with fine, dusty tannins and superb persistence. This is a stunning set of pinots from Rochioli: structured and sappy, with utterly delicious and seductively sweet red fruit and spice flavors.

One of the larger production offerings is the 400-case cuvee of 2004 Pinot Noir Little Hill Vineyard. Its floral, blueberry, raspberry, and sweet kirsch-like perfume is accompanied by liquid minerality notes. The deep ruby/purple-tinged color, intense fruit, broad, savory mid-palate, stunning purity, and good structure are reminiscent of a grand cru from Flagey Echezeaux. It should be consumed over the next decade. Kudos to Tom Rochioli, one of the truly great guys of the wine business. Tel. (707) 433-2305; Fax (707) 433-2358
