Overview: Since 2010, ROCO has produced some of our juiciest and fresh-fruited Pinot Noirs from this low-elevation jewel estate, located in the eastern portion of the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. Tucked just west of the Dundee Hills, Marsh Estate Vineyard starts at a 250ft elevation and ascends steeply to a peak elevation of 320ft at the end of an exposed ridge line. This exposure ensures maximum sunlight, and combined with soil derived from marine sandstone, gives the wine an intense real cherry and raspberry front with a black pepper finish. A collectible wine that is drinkable now, but can lay down for a number of years.
Tasting Notes: Black cherries and clean rain water aromas are joined by traces of straw, saline and aged balsamic vinegar. The palate is a bowl of tart red fruits like cranberry and hibiscus berries. The wine is medium bodied, with velvety tannins and bright acidity.
Pairing: Salmon teriyaki
Points: 92, Wine Enthuisast
Format/ABV: 750 ml/14.0%
