1994 Rochioli Pinot Noir West Block

BY ANTONIO GALLONI | JANUARY 8, 2018

Rochioli’s 1994 Pinot Noir West Block is fabulous. Rich and
sumptuous on the palate, with superb aromatic intensity, the 1994 is
super-expressive today. Dark cherry, mocha, spice and leather notes all lift
from the glass in this rewarding, hugely delicious Pinot.&nbsp; At the time, Tom Rochioli made his wines in a
more extracted, oak-driven style than he does today. The West Block was aged in
100% new barrels and has handled the oak very nicely. At twenty-four years of
age, the&nbsp; 1994 is fully mature, but it
has enough depth to drink well for at least another few years. The 1994 was
made from the Joe Rochioli’s original vineyard, first planted in 1969 with
Wente Clone Pinot. 93/Drink:
