Roco Wine - The Stalker - Pinot Noir

The Stalker Pinot Noir is a unique wine. The fermentation style was developed by ROCO's owner/winemaker, Rollin Soles in a quest to develop deeper, richer flavors in a Pinot Noir without adding heavy, over-the-top green tannins. The name refers to Rollin's time in Australia, where they call the grape stems 'stalks'.

The aromatics are immediately "stemmy," leaf tobacco with black cherry fruits, deep night time red rose petal scents and brown sugar. The palate is rich on perfectly bracing acidity, fruit expression is like a fruity Montepulciano red wine, blackberry compote fills the middle while showing masculine tannin grip through the long finish.
