Rochioli Pinot Noir Russian River Valley Estate 2023

95 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "A youthful bright red color, the 2023 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is consistently one of my favorite appellation wines, and this one does not disappoint. The nose has refined spice, a floral rosy perfume, and notes of fresh red cherries, fresh mossy earth, and river rock. The palate is medium-bodied and has fantastic elegance and finesse, with pure fresh fruit and fine tannins, with just a lovely lift of spice on the finish Drink 2025-2037. (Jul 2025)"

94 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "The 2023 Pinot Noir Estate bursts from the glass with scents of cranberry, blackberry, juniper, Fernet and forest floor. The medium-bodied palate is open and inviting. Waves of spicy fruit are delivered in a silky texture and energized by vibrant acidity, and it has a very long, nuanced finish. Drink 2025-2040 (Aug 2025)"

93 points Wine Spectator: "A polished, silky, pretty and streamlined version, redolent of blood orange, warmed peach, bitter cherry and damson plum fruit. Offers light accents of savory and rose petal for perfume, with a lingering sandalwood edge on the tail end. Drink now through 2030. (Sep 2025)"

90 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2023 Pinot Noir Estate is an elegant, restrained wine. Crushed flowers, cedar, sweet pipe tobacco, mint and blood orange are all beautifully lifted. Silky, bright and beautifully balanced, the 2023 is pure and total class. Most of this fruit is from the Little Hill and Sweetwater parcels. Drink 2025-2033 (Jan 2025)"
