Rochioli Estate Pinot Noir 2016

Rochioli's 2016 delivers textbook Russian River elegance with serious backbone.

Raspberry brightness opens immediately. Rose petal aromatics drift upward with cedar undertones. White pepper adds complexity without overwhelming delicate fruit core. Mineral thread runs throughout, typical Russian River signature. Cedar influence feels integrated, never heavy-handed. Silky texture carries flavors effortlessly across mid-palate. Finish stretches long with lingering spice notes. Perfect ripeness achieved in challenging vintage. Drinking beautifully now but structured for decade ahead.

🍷 You want Russian River finesse without the hefty price tag of cult producers.

Pairs with: duck breast with cherry gastrique, wild mushroom risotto, herb-crusted lamb chops, aged gruyere
