2011 Rochioli, Three Corner Vyd Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley 1x750ml

Vinous 93+

The 2011 Pinot Noir Three Corner is one of the more compact, inward wines in this vintage. There is plenty of energy and inner perfume, but the 2011 is showing only a bit of its true potential today. With time in the glass, the wine’s delineation and energy become more prominent. Sweet floral notes reappear on the finish adding freshness and vibrancy, while silky tannins underpin the fruit. This is another gorgeous 2011 from Tom Rochioli. [Antonio Galloni, 01/06/2013]
