Remarkably pure, this shows richness, depth and an elegant body, offering a seamless expression of ripe pear, honeydew, peach, apricot and fig notes. Turns spicy, with light cedary oak. Impresses with complex flavors, texture and persistence. Drink now.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2014 Chardonnay Riverblock (which comes from a site near the river, as the name suggests) is made from an old Wente clone. This is quintessential Russian River Chardonnay, with notes of tangerine oil, orange blossom, honeysuckle and lemon rind. It has a light greenish gold color and a full-bodied, beautiful, well-delineated mouthfeel and finish. Drink it over the next 5-7 years.

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.
