Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2011 Pinot Noir River Block is much more expressive than the Sweetwater. Juicy, dark cherries, plums, tobacco, licorice and leather jump from the glass. A big, broad-shouldered wine, the 2011 stands out for its pure richness in this cool vintage. With time in the glass, the River Block shows more of its masculine, virile personality. Tobacco and scorched earth nuances add the final layers of complexity. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2021.

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.
