2021 Rivers-Marie Pinot Noir Sonoma Coastmore |
4/23/2024 - WetRock wrote: NRThis is real subdued still. Dark, forest floor sort of vibes with a strong raspberry thing coming alive on the second night. The palate shows a dark fruited skin quality. Strongly tannic yet. A more bitter citrus feel on the palate is very present. Hard choice between somewhat closed or just without the power to express itself fully. Again though, for the normale SC bottling this is quite dark, structured and shy. Not as generous as one might usually expect from this bottling but that could also mean its a step up in terms of depth. Time will tell. |

4/21/2024 - RGCM Gananda Likes this wine: 93 pointsPrior bottle was just over 11 months ago and this wine continues to drink quite well. Black cherry, blackberry, black raspberry and spices continue to make up the nose. Between medium and full bodied with a very similar fruit profile of black cherry and blackberry. Upfront, the expression may have gotten a touch more open and rounded while the mid-body continues to show slightly better depth than the 2013. There are some nice black raspberry notes through the middle and towards the back that add a touch of balanced power. Tart black cherry, spices and minerals through the finish. With more depth, more blackfruit expression, slightly more complexity and slightly better overall integration, this wine remains a small but distinct step ahead of the 2013. Given that this bottle took several hours open to fully come together, I would estimate it has several years left in front of it at a high level. |

4/20/2024 - RGCM Gananda Likes this wine: 92 pointsPrior bottle was 11 months ago and my notes were generally consistent, but for some serving temperature derived variations. Red cherry and red raspberry along with earthy, forest floor notes on the nose. Remains between medium and full bodied with very pretty rounded black cherry upfront with some red cherry accents. Mid-body is better integrated now showing both red and black cherry with some red raspberry highlights towards the back as well as some plum notes. Tart red cherry, earth, spices and minerals through the finish work with the acidity and tannins to provide contrast, structure and finishing length. Of my original 3 bottles, I think this one showed the best, but still in line with expectations (hence, no score increase). It's the integration of the acidity and spice notes coupled with overall balance improvements that made this bottle so enjoyable. Should be able to maintain this level for least another year or two, possibly more. |

4/19/2024 - RGCM Gananda Likes this wine: 92 pointsPrior bottle was 14 months ago and this wine remains in a very good drinking window, perhaps even slightly better than I'd expected. Black raspberry and spices continue to dominate the nose with black cherry and earth behind. Still between medium and full bodied and with an essentially unchanged fruit profile of black cherry, black raspberry and blackberry. There's good depth through the middle and the fruit remains balanced due to the tart notes, spices and acidity on the back. The middle does show a good amount of rounded and open fruit notes, but that actually helps it contrast with the tartness and acidity behind. The finish lingers with length a a result. I did have concerns that this wine could fall out of alignment, but so far, those fears are quite premature and based on how well this bottle showed, it clearly has time left at this level. |

4/17/2024 - gharter Likes this wine: 94 pointsPnP, no decant needed. Opens with red and black fruit, cassis, cedar, spice, anise, plum on the nose. Lots of flavor with red and black fruit, cassis, anise, spice, slight herbal, and cedar. Medium body. Smooth tannins in a long finish. |

4/17/2024 - wine-eau Likes this wine: 90 pointsPnp. I find this simple right now. Predominantly sour cherry. Pleasant but I expect it to get better. I won’t touch the rest of mine for at least 2-3 years. |

4/14/2024 - RojoVino24 Likes this wine: 90 pointsAgreed! Extremely bountiful and vibrant on the nose. Fresh!!! On the back end it was the opposite. Slightly dull and was expecting longer notes. |

4/14/2024 - bergkamp10 Likes this wine: 91 pointsVery pleasant nose, red cherry, raspberry and hint of forest floor. Ripe red fruit, cherry, hints of raspberry with some cola lurking in the background. Good acid driven finish, long and quite sappy. Good stuff, well made and all the elements are there. Drink up, as I can’t see this developing any interesting tertiary notes so I would enjoy before the fruit fades. |

4/11/2024 - CavWine Likes this wine: 91 pointsReally liked this, more savory than other Pinots. Let it decant about 45 minutes and I think this was just about right. Hesitated opening it so young, but don't regret it! |

4/9/2024 - gharter Likes this wine: 91 pointsPnP, would have benefitted from a short decant. Darker than some previous releases. Aromas of cherry, raspberry, cranberry, light sandalwood and floral. Similar flavors with cherry, cranberry, raspberry, cedar and floral, light herbal. Medium body. Smooth, medium finish. Good now, but should improve with time. |
