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.

Rochioli, probably the best vineyard is Sonoma County. Always great. I prefer the 2005 to the 2006 Pinot, but still top notch.

Classic Russian River Pinot Noir. Good acid, cherry, rose petals. Nice long finish, smooth tannins with a bit of earth and red fruit.
