2021 Rochioli Pinot Noir Russian River Valley

Winemaker Notes: 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 the passing of Russian River legend and patriarch Joe Rochioli in August 2022, this powerhouse estate is now run by third-generation grapegrower, Tom Rochioli.
