2018 Rochioli 'J.Rochioli' Big Hill Pinot Noir Russian River Valley

95 Points   Wine Advocate

The 2018 Pinot Noir Big Hill is an elegant wine with lovely aroma and flavor detail this year. Pale ruby-purple, it begins with tobacco leaves, woodsmoke and underbrush with layers of potpourri and bitter citrus peel and a core of sweet blackberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with an earthy character, firm, grainy frame and lots of spicy accents, finishing long, uplifted and fresh (EB).   Review Date: 07/2020
