Textbook Russian River elegance with serious backbone and gorgeous aromatics.
Perfumed raspberry and rose petal leap from the glass. Cedar spice weaves through bright red fruit, while white pepper adds complexity. Mineral-driven finish shows real length. Silky tannins provide structure without weight. This 2017 drinks beautifully now but has another decade ahead. Classic Rochioli craftsmanship.
