Wine Advocate, 91-93 Points 

"The 2012 Pinot Noir Sweetwater is a deep ruby/purple-colored, flamboyant red displaying lots of boysenberry, black cherry and raspberry fruit. Full-bodied and rich with the wood pushed to the background, it possesses an opulent mouthfeel as well as a finish that lasts 40 seconds." 

Vinous, 91 Points 

"Rochioli's 2012 Pinot Noir Sweetwater wraps around the palate with lovely understated finesse. Sweet red berries, mint and cinnamon meld together in the glass. High-toned blood orange and citrus notes add brightness on the finish. In 2012, the Sweetwater is beautifully layered and impeccably balanced. It will drink nicely pretty much upon release." 

Alcohol: 14.5%
