Wine Flight
Knudsen Vineyards Pinot Noir 2019
Knudsen Vineyards Pinot Noir is consistently the "silkiest" in texture in ROCO's cellar. Ripe black cherry fruit is held aloft on floral violet/blueberry blossom, cinnamon toast, Maltese leather, and iron ingot complexities. The palate is satin smooth and rich with semi-dried black cherry with a touch of pomegranate. Beautiful Pinot noir spices include white pepper, a pouch of savory spices, and a seam of porcini mushrooms lying on a bed of forest floor earthiness. The bright acidity is reminiscent of blood orange rind citrus. Ripe, fresh fruit, palate length, and solid acidity bode well for long term cellaring.
Marsh Estate Pinot Noir 2019
Signature Bing Cherry juice fruit laced with peppercorns, licorice drops, cinnamon stick, vanilla spices on a bed of dense violet petals. On the palate, Hahn Cherry fruit, red apple and plum tart with a hint of allspice and nutmeg, a bit of apple butter with mouth-watering acidity, which supports signature rich middle palate on a bracing tannin structure.
Private Stash Pinot Noir 2018
The aromatics are a Roman Candle of concentrated black raspberry fruit with a spice selection that includes nutmeg-like Christmas spices and paprika. The flavor opens with a crescendo of mouthwatering tanning, borne on a pillow of velvety mouthfeel. This is an "everything" Pinot that shifts over time. Right now it expresses blackberry with a hint of caramelized blood orange accented with terroir driven mulled spices and bergamot. The finish is one that shifts shape with a quantum effect on time
