2010 Alysian Pinot Noir Rochioli Vineyard (Winemakers / Gary Farrell)

As is generally true with our winemaking style, this wine is an investment in time. Without a doubt, its pedigree, acute balance and exotic nuances are 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 fresh cherry, strawberry and plum. Always one of our most cellar-worthy and exciting releases from two of Russian River Valley’s most coveted vineyards. Gary Farrell Winemaker
