92 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): "Brilliant red. High-pitched red berry and candied rose scents are sharpened by a smoky mineral accent and a hint of five-spice powder. Nervy and incisive in the mouth, offering energetic, finely etched raspberry, bitter cherry and peppery flavors that gain depth and sweetness with air. Possesses an appealing blend of power and delicacy and closes on a subtly tannic note, displaying excellent clarity and mineral-driven persistence. Drink: 2020-2026. (Jan 2018)"
92 points James Suckling: "There is actually quite a lot of peppermint on the nose here as well as vanilla, cedar and strawberries and spices. The palate is full and muscular with round tannins, a fine thread of acidity and a fruit-forward, chewy finish. Needs time. Drink in 2020. (9/16/17)"
92 points/'Editors' Choice,' Wine Enthusiast: "[$50 list] The name refers to the rocks in this section of the estate vineyard, and they can be felt as well as tasted in the wine. The mouthfeel is slightly astringent, with hints of metal and stone, and the alcohol is muted, allowing the more subtle suggestions of citrus and beet and truffle and wild strawberry to emerge. All in all it's the most complex and intriguing of the winery's offerings, and merits your full attention. Alcohol 14.1%. (Jun 2017)"
90 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (Wine Advocate): "Pale to medium ruby colored, the 2015 Pinot Noir Rocheux has an appealing warm cranberry and cherry pie-laced nose with touches of cinnamon stick, violets and dark chocolate. Medium-bodied, it has a plush frame of soft tannins and just enough acid to support the generous spicy fruit, finishing with good length. (Aug 2017)"
