Tasting Panel
Winemaker Rollin Soles hails from Australia, where grape stems are referred to as "stalks"; an illustration of him being pursued, or stalked, by the thunderbird that represents the winery appears on the label of this wine. To produce it, Soles destems whole berries into small fermenters for a ten-day soak while aging the removed stems separately for seven days under inert gas; the latter are then hand-punched into the fermenters and punched down twice a day before the gently pressed juice is transferred to French oak and matured for nine months. The resulting wine is an intensely bright, floral beauty. Cherry bark, dried roses, violets, and a zing of pink peppercorns flourish on the nose and palate. Wild strawberry, cinnamon, and tilled soil are enveloped in a distinct, stemmy mouthfeel.

James Suckling
Fragrant nose of rose petals, raspberries, pomegranates and rhubarb. Very fresh, with a medium body and chalky tannins. Nicely mineral at the end.

Description

With its notes of perfumed purple violets, pomegranate blossoms, and a hint of earthiness, Roco The Stalker Pinot Noir 750ml is sure to stump even the most trained sommeliers. On the palate, this wine is not just big, but BIG, with a huge tannin grip and a burst of feral blackberry, ripe blueberry, and fig jam fruitiness. The black cherry fruit is almost overshadowed by a spice rack of Mediterranean Italian spices, cardamon, forest floor, browned stems, and wet slate minerality. From start to finish, this is a robust and exciting wine.
