2008 Pinot Noir, Rochioli Vineyard, Allen-Rochioli Blocks

92 Points – Linda Murphy, WineReviewOnline, March 2011

92 Points – “By blending grapes grown in two blocks, Farrell produces a deeper, somewhat darker wine than the Rochioli River Block, yet it never strays from the Farrell style of finesse, balance and crisp acidity.  The aroma is textbook Rochioli, raspberry puree and fresh strawberry, yet the palate picks up some blackberry and dark cherry from the Allen block.  Peppery and slightly herbal (in a good way), it’s fuller-bodied, yet still elegant and precise, without an ounce of fat.” Linda Murphy, winereviewonline.com, March 2011
