Gary Farrell 2012 Rochioli Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Rochioli Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Gary Farrell / Russian River Valley

The producer continues to hit it out of the park with this vintage of Pinot, offering a gorgeously balanced interpretation of a marquee vineyard site. Rose petal and lavender aromas evolve into flavors of rosemary, high-toned orange peel, dried cherry and cranberry on the palate, keeping things ethereal throughout. Smooth and medium bodied, the tannins are coy and the entire experience memorable.
