Another top-notch success among this brilliant portfolio is the 2008 Pinot Noir East Block. The most powerful, rich, and full of these offerings, it has the best upside in terms of longevity. Its deep ruby/purple color is followed by aromas of sweet cola, forest floor, camphor, pomegranate, raspberries, and black cherries. From the Rochioli’s coolest terroir (all of their sites are relatively cool), this beauty boasts layers and layers of fruit as well as an expansive, long, 40+ second finish. It should evolve for 10-15+ years.This is another beautiful portfolio of wines from Tom Rochioli. Since they all possess a similar style, one can quibble over just how much difference there is between all the different cuvees of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. However, there are subtle differences that I will do my best to articulate. With respect to his Pinot Noirs, Rochioli completely destems his grapes, does a cold soak for 4-5 days, and keeps the wines in 100% Francois Freres French cooperage for 14-16 months or less. The wines are racked directly from barrel to tank, and are bottled without fining or filtration.Tel. (707) 433-2305; Fax (707) 433-2358
