2017 Rochioli Little Hill Pinot Noir Russian River Valley

95 Points  Wine Advocate

The 2017 Pinot Noir Little Hill is pale to medium ruby in the glass. The nose is scented of tangerine peel and Earl Grey tea leaves, crushed stone, raspberry and strawberry jam and crushed red cherries with classic notions of smoke and cola. Light to medium-bodied, it's intensely fruited with swirls of amaro and tea spice, a firm frame of very ripe, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing very long and flavorful.
