Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Revealing more oak at present than its siblings, the 2013 Pinot Noir West Block offers more earth and spice characteristics as well as a more angular, structured mouthfeel. Not as plush or seductive as the Sweetwater Pinot, it is more masculine and firm, and will require 1-2 years of bottle age once it is in the marketplace. This medium to full-bodied 2013 should age for a decade. Range: 91-93+

The Rochioli family has been growing grapes on its 136-acre ranch since the 1930s. In 1987, Tom Rochioli created the first Rochioli Estate Pinot Noir which Wine Spectator named “The Best Pinot Noir in America.” The Rochioli Vineyard is situated in a very diverse part of the Russian River Valley promoting diversity in the soil types, proximity to the ocean, as well as the contours of the valley, allowing for morning fog and cool evening breezes.
With three generations of dedication to the land, Rochioli Vineyards & Winery has earned the reputation as one of Sonoma County’s finest wineries. The decades-long tradition of outstanding vintages continues today with wines that consistently receive rave reviews and 90+ scores. Always in demand, always revered and always rated among the best varietals sought after around the world.
