Blind tasting of nine Rochioli single vineyard Pinots, three each from 2000, 2004 and 2006. I found this one more restrained than the others. RP90

Surprisingly young fresh and vibrant, tart cranberry, red cherry and red raspberry dominated the palate with touches of the vanilla and cola to compliment. A beautiful Russian River Pinot in the typical Russian River style.

What Pinto Noir should taste like. Wonderful berry but not too heavy.

After 10 years, the fruit has muted slightly but it has the muscularity of its single vineyard cousins.

I was worried given the year but sometimes you get a nice surprise when pulling a wine from the drink bin.

I like this much more than I expected to. Dark, but reasonably balanced. Very nice.
