Castalia Rochioli Vineyard 2021 Pinot Noir 750 ML

FMW 96 Points:The 2021 Castalia Pinot Noir Rochioli is a tiny production gem sourced from what is the equivalent of a grand cru vineyard in Burgundy. The wine shows a ruby, almost translucent color, and has intense notes of black cherries, plums, violets, and a whiff of earthiness. This youngster is a real crowd-pleaser, lush, yet elegant, with amazing finesse yet still powerful and intense. This is an amazingly well-made wine that will benefit from short-term cellaring, or a good decant, and should cellar well for a good 10 years.
