1998 Rochioli Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc Russian River Valley
About Rochioli Vineyards
The range of these Pinot Noirs from the Rochioli family goes from rich to richer. These aromatic wines from their superb vineyards in the heart of the Russian River Valley are classic expressions of the region, with dominant red fruit and spice character. In recent years, a growing percentage of Rochioli's fruit has gone into pricier vineyard-designated bottlings sold mostly via mailing list. Tom Rochioli also offers a delightfully brisk and gripping Sauvignon Blanc with penetrating citrus skin and dusty stone character.

Expert Reviews
Perfumed aromas of grapefruit, lime and pine oil. Leanish and intensely flavored, with the crispy grapefruit quality repeating in the mouth. A bit shocked by the recent bottling, but fresh and quite firm.
