Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Pale ruby, the 2019 Pinot Noir Estate has pretty red and black berry aromas on the nose, with accents of black tea leaves, woodsmoke and earth. The medium-bodied palate is silky and fresh with intense, earth-laced fruits lingering on the finish.
• Wine Spectator: Delicate and refined, this is filled with concentrated raspberry tart flavors that are laced together by plenty of cedary and underbrush accents. The fresh, juicy finish shows touches of ripe minerality and hints of white pepper.

Producer Information

J. Rochioli Vineyards and Winery is a Californian estate based in Fenton Acres in the Russian River Valley AVA (American Viticultural Area). The 140 acre (57 hectare) estate produces terroir-driven wines with a minimal intervention approach – mostly from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.The Rochioli family first moved to Fenton Acres in the early 1930s. A small portion of the family’s farmland was set aside for viniculture and in 1959 the vineyards were planted to Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. Today, these Sauvignon Blanc vines are thought to be amongst some of the oldest in California.
