A polished and expressive Oregon Pinot Noir that captures the Willamette Valley’s signature elegance. ROCO’s Gravel Road delivers classic Pinot charm with layers of red fruit, spice, and silky texture—an outstanding value from one of the region’s most respected winemakers.
Taste
Bright red cherry, raspberry, and cranberry notes lead the way, balanced by undertones of baking spice, earth, and a touch of forest floor. The palate is smooth and medium-bodied with lively acidity, supple tannins, and a long, graceful finish. It’s approachable now, but has the structure to evolve beautifully.
About the Winery/Winemaker
ROCO is the passion project of Rollin Soles, a legendary figure in Oregon winemaking and founding winemaker of Argyle. With over three decades of experience, Rollin crafts wines that are expressive, site-driven, and impeccably balanced. Gravel Road Pinot Noir brings together fruit from ROCO’s estate vineyards and select premium sites across the northern Willamette Valley.
Why We Love It
This is everything we want in an Oregon Pinot—vibrant, food-friendly, and full of personality. It’s serious enough for collectors, but easygoing enough to enjoy any night of the week. A true snapshot of what makes Willamette Valley Pinot so compelling.
