Avalon notes on the ROCO 2007 Private Stash

July 29th, 2010

Here’s a nice review from Jean over at AvalonWine.com

We just tasted the 07 Private Stash yesterday with owners/winemakers Rolin Soles (Argyle) and Corby Stonebraker. According to Rolin “in this type of vintage (2007) anyone can get red fruit and minerality. The trick is the creamy midpalate – it makes the wine round and gives an impression of fullness in the mouth.” And the wine shows that he accomplished his goal.

The 07 Private Stash’s scent of dried roses and red cherry is echoed by red raspberry, red cherry, and sweet cherry candy fruit flavors. It is an elegant wine that gains weight and richness as a fresh, creamy quality opens upon tasting. Crisp, balanced minerality, and seamless tannins will allow the wine to cellar well for 3-4 years. – Jean

 

Thanks, Jean!!

Good Quote from Statesman Journal

Pairings: Tuscan white bean bruschetta

Subtly flavored food requires an equally subdued wine, though flavors of toast and earth can be mirrored between both. A well-balanced Chardonnay, such as the one made by ROCO Winery does nicely. — Annette Solomon
