The 2011 Rosehall Run JCR Pinot Noir, aged in French oak hogsheads for 16 months, has pleasing aromas of spice, wood, vanilla and raspberry. It is a light to medium bodied, extra-dry, fruity wine; with crisp acidity, subtle to refined tannins and a medium to long finish. It is a food friendly and sipping wine; drink now 2020 (screw cap enclosure). My impression: NICE to BEAUTIFUL, 90 pts – recommended for its quality. Tasted at 'County in the City' event http://grapeselections.com/county-in-the-city-2014/ in Apr/14.

John Szabo, MS

Still quite dusty and reserved on the nose - this is far from prime drinking. There's typical cherry fruit...

David Lawrason

This is a very well made pinot from estate grown fruit in a light and difficult vintage. Pretty strawberry/red...

Sara d'Amato

A very impressive offering, more robust and rustic than elegant but with distinctive juicy cherries, vibrant acids...
