2013 ROAR "ROSELLA'S VINEYARD" PINOT NOIR From Antonio Galloni, "Brilliant ruby. Powerful, smoke-accented cherry, boysenberry, vanilla and allspice aromas, with a floral nuance gaining strength with air. At once broad and juicy in the mouth, offering sappy red and blue fruit flavors along with suggestions of candied flowers and spicecake. Supple tannins add shape to the impressively persistent, focused finish, which leaves lively berry and floral pastille notes behind...The ROAR wines tend to be fruit-driven and extroverted, with plenty of sex appeal on release, but they also have proven to be ageworthy. In my experience, they never truly shut down, thus providing drinking pleasure for those with patience as well as those with itchy corkscrews. " 93 Points
