2008 Alysian Pinot Noir Rochioli Vineyard

As is generally true with our winemaking style, this wine is an investment in time. Without a doubt, its pedigree, acute balance and wildly exotic nuances are already evident and in good supply, but this wine will require time to fully express its deepest and innermost secrets. It is those mysteries, however, that make this wine so compelling and attractive; revealing a little

more of its stunning personality with each taste. Cool climate acidity and elegant structure provide the perfect framework for its abundant fruit components; which include black cherry, blueberry, peppery spice and complimenting sandalwood. Always one of our most cellar-worthy and exciting releases from two of Russian River Valley’s most coveted vineyards. Gary Farrell, winemaker
