Tasting notes
Shimmering ruby-red. A highly fragrant bouquet evokes ripe red berries, potpourri and savory herbs and a smoky mineral nuance builds as the wine opens up. Sappy and penetrating on the palate, offering appealingly sweet black raspberry, boysenberry and rose pastille flavors that are accented by five-spice powder and white pepper flourishes. Rich but graceful as well, showing excellent finishing power, repeating florality and smooth, well-knit tannins.

Super pure aromas of vibrant, red and darker cherries and subtle, foresty complexity. The palate has a very supple, lithe and juicy feel with abundant and intense, concentrated and very pure, red and black-cherry flavors. Drink or hold.
The 2016 Roserock Zéphirine Pinot Noir is pale to medium ruby-purple in color with a blackberry and black cherry pie nose with suggestions of pepper-crusted meat, dried violets and forest floor. Light to medium-bodied, it fills the mouth with black fruits and touches of cardamom, softly framed by grainy tannins and juicy acidity, finishing long with sweet fruits. 1,400 cases produced.
