Lean and evolved is the 2003 Pinot Noir Rochioli River Block Vineyard. Medium ruby-colored, straightforward, monolithic, and not terribly expressive, I suspect there is a lot more than my notes suggest.

Aromas of flowers, strawberries, black cherries, and rose petals waft from the glass of the medium dark ruby-hued 2003 Pinot Noir Rochioli River Block Vineyard. While it boasts noble grand cru-like aromatics (flowers, raspberries, cherries, and crushed rocks), the wine is reserved in the mouth, suggesting 1-2 years of bottle age will be beneficial. It should keep for 7-8 years.
