Rochioli Winery is a legend in the Russian River Valley. A family business dating back to the 1960s, they have been bottling estate Pinot Noir since the late 1980s. After being named the best Pinot Noir in America by Wine Spectator for their 1985 vintage they have never slowed down. It is both one of the highest esteemed Pinot Noirs in Sonoma County and one of the smallest producers.

The opportunity to drink a J. Rochiolio vineyard designate should not be missed. Sweetwater Vineyard is located at the highest elevation on Rochioli's estate. The wine offers aromas of ripe blackberry, earth and spice with rich blackberry and vanilla flavors.
