Castalia Pinot Noir Rochioli Vineyard 2020

Introducing the remarkable Castalia Pinot Noir Rochioli Vineyard 2020, a creation by the skilled hands of winemaker Terry Bering. Displaying an enchanting garnet hue, this vintage beckons with an array of up-front red fruits, such as vibrant raspberries and luscious strawberries. Yet, it’s the intricate layers of fragrance that truly captivate the senses – a harmonious dance of spices and delicate flowers that adds depth and allure to the experience.

In terms of body, this Pinot Noir strikes a perfect balance between medium and full, showcasing a fruit-forward profile that delights the palate. Its supple nature and undeniably delightful mouthfeel make it an undeniable treat for wine enthusiasts. Terry Bering’s expertise shines through in every sip, crafting a wine that embodies the essence of the Rochioli Vineyard.

The 2020 vintage is a rare gem, with Terry Bering producing a mere 125 cases – a testament to his commitment to excellence. A substantial portion hails from the renowned “West Block” within the Rochioli vineyard, a location known for its exceptional quality. Notably, Bering’s artistry comes to life with a nuanced touch of 20% new French oak, a departure from Rochioli’s 100% new wood approach for the “West Block.”

This Castalia creation is nothing short of a vinous marvel, a wine where dynamic elements converge to create a vibrant symphony of flavors and aromas. With only 30 cases available for distribution, it stands as a true treasure from a vineyard rockstar. The Castalia Pinot Noir Rochioli Vineyard 2020 is not just a wine; it’s an embodiment of Terry Bering’s dedication and the essence of a legendary vineyard.
