Tom Rochioli

Tom Rochioli is a third-generation farmer and first-generation winemaker whose family has worked the same Russian River Valley vineyard since 1938. His 1985 Rochioli Pinot Noir made wine history when it was named "Best Pinot Noir in America" by Wine Spectator in 1987, establishing Rochioli as a Russian River Valley pioneer and proving California Pinot Noir could rival the world's finest. His family planted Sauvignon Blanc in 1959 and were Pinot Noir pioneers in 1968, with some of California's oldest producing Sauvignon Blanc vines still in production today. As one of California's finest wine producers, his terroir-driven wines showcase the unique characteristics of individual vineyard blocks.
