Roche Winery Pinot Noir Barrel Select Reserve

nose had some faint mushroom and sour pom. - followed with a mild crushed stone tart cherry flavor- finish of no distinction- simply over the hill-

Given the cost and popularity of this maker, I was disappointed. Overall a pleasant experience having that slight gamey flavor characteristic of so many Carneros / Russian River Pinots, but there are many better options out there.
