Rivaling the profound West Block, the 2004 Pinot Noir East Block boasts a slightly more saturated dense ruby/purple-tinged color, and plays it slightly closer to the vest. On the palate, it explodes with flavor intensity, depth, and length. Layered, rich, and full-bodied, this profound effort will benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age, and keep for 10-12 years or longer. Kudos to Tom Rochioli, one of the truly great guys of the wine business.Tel. (707) 433-2305; Fax (707) 433-2358
