The 2022 Carneros Pinot Noir is a blend of the Roche “Longford” Vineyard located just east of the winery and the Roche “Tipperary” Vineyard located adjacent to the winery. The soil and growing conditions help to create a distinct style of Pinot Noir that is known for the Carneros region. Aromas are of ripe plum, strawberry, and boysenberry. Flavors are abundant with red cherry, blackberry, and strawberry.
In 1987, Joseph and Genevieve Roche founded and built Roche Winery. With an initial production of only 2,000 cases of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, they grew the brand to offer several additional varieties including Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet, Zinfandel, Muscat Canelli and Gewürztraminer. It was never their intention to mass-distribute their wines, rather, they chose to sell their family’s wines directly to their customers. Joseph and Genevieve loved to entertain and hosted thousands of Roche customers over the years at winery events to thank them for their loyalty to Roche Winery.
This tradition continues today, 30 years later, as the second generation of the Roche family has assumed ownership and manages the day-to-day winery operations. Following in the footsteps of Genevieve and Joseph, the family and staff take pride in offering a uniquely genuine, welcoming and unpretentious experience for all who visit the Roche tasting room. Roche Winery continues to grow under the direction of Joseph and Genevieve’s son, Brendan Roche, as their new Sonoma Valley Winery is set to open to the public in Summer of 2019, and their production now exceeds 18,000 cases per year.

2022 Roche Winery Carneros Pinot Noir - $70 = 25.92%
We had 5 people tasting the 2022 Roche Winery Carneros Pinot Noir at a cookout over the weekend. We ranged from some who don’t drink wine often to some who mainly drink heavy, full bodied reds.
We all agreed it was a pretty ruby or cranberry color and the first smells were of bright cherry. This is where we diverged.
I tasted cherries and smoke. It’s dry with light tannins. Others thought it had little flavor and was too light, even for a Pinot. One taster thought it was “good”.
We decided it may have been better with a little chill. It’s easy drinking and would be a good summer porch wine. One glass was left in the bottle for day 2.
The bottle was left corked overnight on the counter. On day 2 the color wasn’t as bright. I still tasted cherries and smoke with light tannins. The wine held up pretty well.
Thanks Terry and all at WCC. We all enjoyed tasting a new wine that we had never tried before!
