What to Expect

California has long struggled with Pinot Noir. Finding the right vineyards for this most fickle of grape, one that enjoys a cool growing season yet needs warmth close to harvest to fully ripen, has proven a challenge in such a sunny state. Cooler areas eventually became identified; the Santa Rita Hills, Russian River Valley and Mendocino's Anderson valley are all prime spots for Pinot Noir in California. Unlike the lighter colored and sometimes delicate Pinots of Burgundy, California produces many rich, deep Pinots full of slightly chewy dark berry and cherry fruits with hints of cola, Asian spices and forest floor frequently adding complexity.

Winemakers Notes

The grapes for this wine were selected from our many different vineyard sites. It possesses the typical Rochioli character and the classic Russian River Valley charm. Aged in French oak for 15 months it displays a full body and a silky textured finish with a firm and balanced structure. The blend is seventy percent from the Sweetwater vineyard and thirty percent from distinguished sites on our property. 3580 cases were produced.

This is one of my favorite Pinots! Medium to full-bodied with a lovely floral aroma. Excellent!

The 2006 Pinot Noir Little Hill Vineyard ratchets up the level of concentration. Dark cherries, pomegranate, kirsch, herbs, and meaty characteristics emerge from this medium to full-bodied, lightly tannic Pinot. Consume it over the next 10-12 years. Robert Parker.
