Score 88+/100 · Drink 2019-2025, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Mar 2017
Rochioli's 2015 Pinot Noir Sweetwater offers up an exotic mélange of crème de cassis, lavender, red cherry jam, licorice, sweet spices and French oak. Today, the flavors are decidedly ripe and jammy. Perhaps the 2015 is still coming out of bottle shock. Today, it is a bit awkward and not fully put together.

Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2015 Pinot Noir Sweetwater Vineyard has tons of crushed blackberry scents, with notes of spice box, violets and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied with a firm frame of chewy tans and a lively backbone, it finishes long and earthy. 428 cases were made.
