Reviews:
- James Suckling: Good Chardonnay, rich and ripe and steely. That metallic thing shows up both in the crisp acidity and in the stony, pebbly tang that adds a piquant freshness to the pineapple, lime tart, tangerine and smoky custard-cream flavors.
Producer Information
J. Rochioli Vineyards and Winery is a Californian estate based in Fenton Acres in the Russian River Valley AVA (American Viticultural Area). The 140 acre (57 hectare) estate produces terroir-driven wines with a minimal intervention approach – mostly from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Rochioli family first moved to Fenton Acres in the early 1930s. A small portion of the family’s farmland was set aside for viniculture and in 1959 the vineyards were planted to Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. Today, these Sauvignon Blanc vines are thought to be amongst some of the oldest in California. The wine portfolio is divided between the Estate range and the Single Vineyard with varietal Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc produced in each. In the winery, each plot is fermented seperate throughout the entire winemkaing process.
