Rochioli delivers pure Russian River magic in this ethereal 2018 bottling.

Perfumed raspberry and rose petals leap from the glass. Cedar spice weaves through silky red fruit. White pepper adds intrigue without overwhelming delicate aromatics. Mineral backbone provides structure to gossamer tannins. Finish lingers with floral elegance and spice. This vintage captures Rochioli's signature grace while showing remarkable depth. Cellar five years for peak evolution. Pure Russian River terroir in bottle.
