2017 ROAR Pinot Noir ‘ROSELLA VINEYARD’

Lighter in the glass, this bottling is a somewhat more delicate style than usual for the Franscioni family, but just as delicious if not more so depending on preference. Aromas of raspberry, pomegranate and wild thyme lead into a palate that’s loaded with strawberry, white pepper and bay leaf, finishing on vanilla cream.

Contoured, featuring lilting flavors of dried raspberry, cherry and underbrush, supported by medium-grained tannins. Beefy notes emerge midpalate, leading to a silky, well-spiced finish. Drink now through 2024. 710 cases made.
