Rochioli Three Corner Pinot Noir 2010
Pinot Noir from Russian River, California
winemaker's notes:
This bottling is from a small triangle shaped vineyard on the southern end of our property. The wine has aromas of ripe cherry and spice with a touch of anise with concentrated flavors of bright fruit that are balanced and rich.
alcohol by volume:
14.5%
critical acclaim:
"Very rich and deeply concentrated, this extraordinary wine is focused on a dense core of blackberry, with a touch of jam, showing hints of raspberry and wilted rose as well. Firm, tight, concentrated and pleasantly tannic, this has a lot going for it."

Wine Spectator
"The 2010 Pinot Noir Three Corner wraps around the palate with intense dark black fruit, menthol, spices and licorice. This is one of the most brooding, structured wines in the lineup. Energy, focus and power are some of the many virtues found in the Three Corner. Layers of fruit continue to build in the glass as the wine fills out over time. This is a dazzling effort from Tom Rochioli. Rating: 94+"

The Wine Advocate
"Three Corner is a block in the estate vineyard that was planted in 1974. The 2010 is very rich and full bodied,—dramatically so—packed with cherries and pomegranates and savory spices and minerals. The power reflects the vineyard's site in a warmer part of the valley. But the wine never loses sight of elegance, and, like all Rochioli's vineyard designated Pinot Noirs, it is in need of age. Don't even think of popping the cork before 2016, and the wine
should develop for many years afterward. Cellar Selection"

Wine Enthusiast
"Deep ruby. Explosively perfumed bouquet displays black raspberry, cherry preserves and potpourri. Lush and sweet, with palate-staining dark berry flavors, supple tannins, and an exotic floral pastille quality that emerges with air. Extremely seductive and open-knit, finishing with outstanding power and spicy persistence."
