This vineyard-designate offers a wealth and breadth of cherry compote and orange peel, alluring on both the nose and palate, with a light sprinkling of Asian spice. Full bodied, it carries itself with determined grace and finesse, enjoyable now and yet teasing in complexity. Drink now through 2024.Cellar Selection

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
From a vineyard planted in 1989, the 2014 Pinot Noir Riverblock is a Rochioli selection. This wine offers loads of minerality, a deep ruby purple color, more tannin and structure than some of its siblings, and seems to beg for more patience, as it comes across as more backward and closed. Forget it for 1-2 years and drink it over the following 10-12.

Wine Spectator
Impressively elegant and refined without sacrificing flavor, depth or persistence. The core of anise-laced cherry and raspberry notes is supple, pure and caressing. Understated and persistently engaging. Drink now.

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.
