Rivers-Marie Pinot Noir Occidental Ridge Vineyard Sonoma Coast 2017  - First Bottle

Reviews

95 Vinous -
The 2017 Pinot Noir Occidental Ridge Vineyard is gorgeous. Bright, floral and wonderfully nuanced, the Occidental Ridge is another fabulous wine in this lineup. Silky tannins, pliant fruit and sweet, perfumed aromatics make for a captivating, wonderfully complete wine. Raspberry, blood orange, mint, hard candy, cherry liqueur, and cinnamon all shape a Pinot endowed with tremendous aromatic depth and layers of intensity that build in the glass. Don't miss it.

A big, rich, powerful 2017, the 2017 Pinot Noir Occidental Ridge Vineyard comes all from Dijon clones and spent 10 months in 25% new French oak. It’s loaded with notions of cassis, smoked herbs, mint, and spicy aromas and flavors and is medium to full-bodied, with a stacked mid-palate as well as a great finish. It’s another terrific Pinot Noir from this estate that can be drunk today with incredible pleasure or cellared for upwards of a decade.

About the Producer

Thomas Rivers Brown and Genevieve Marie Welsh started Rivers Marie in 2002 making single variety wines made to reflect the vineyard & vintage from which they came. Focusing on Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Cabernet, the wines are normally sold through the mailing list only but we called in a favor with Thomas for just a few cases.
