2006 Rivers-Marie Pinot Noir Summa Old VinesSonoma Coast more |
4/5/2024 - GrapeScott wrote: 91 pointsMy only bottle, purchased at release. Slightly murky garnet with a bit of bricking. Lots of cranberry and the tell-tale mandarin character I identify with Summa vineyard. Bright to the point of nearly tart, with some baking spice and raspberry notes to add complexity. I like low pH wines, so I find this to be in my wheelhouse for New World pinot noir. These wines strike a great balance between fruit and acidity. Probably better a few years ago, but this drank quite well over 3 nights. |

2021 Rivers-Marie Pinot Noir Platt VineyardSonoma Coast more |
4/5/2024 - WetRock wrote: NRThe only other go I've had with the RM Platt was the 100 pointer which I found a bit rich, blocky and without grace. This one on the other hand is quite impressive. Terrific complexity while maintaining a balanced, cool character. Blind I might have guessing SLH or SC Mountains. There is a forest like coolness here that pulls me away from a warmer Sonoma character. Surprisingly stout yet fine tannin. Focused at the finish. Its got those hints of mineral among the core blackberry. Terrific wine. The structure doesn't want to be forgotten. Could be better in 2-5 years. |

4/6/2024 - wine-eau Likes this wine: 93 pointsMy last of 6 bottles. Cherry, orange peel, clove, leaf litter. Good acidity, lovely tannins. Fruit just a hint tired compared to the last bottle I had. Still delicious, but drink soon. |

4/6/2024 - cjoetucker@aol.com Likes this wine: 93 pointsClear, golden color, with aromas of white peach, tangerine, oak, honeysuckle, and butterscotch. Tastes of pear, vanilla bean, apricot, and citrus notes on the palate. Good length. This has silky, smooth texture, like honey poured over velvet, a creamy mouthfeel, juicy acidity, and medium body. Well done! |

4/4/2024 - CobraCommander Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis was an okay, weekday Pinot. However, given its price, it is an incredible value. Pretty dark in color. I got tart cherries. Very tannic. Tasted better slightly chilled. |

4/3/2024 - LiteItOnFire Likes this wine: 88 pointsFirst RM, and maybe unfair it’s the SC but it’s what I grabbed. Not trying one early upon release, which might have been a better experience before the primary faded however the are are still remnants of what once was. |

4/3/2024 - jmull Likes this wine: 91 pointsPopped and poured. Initially a bit tannic and ripe but it found its stride quickly. Dark fruited and delicious. Flirts with going over the top but stays focused. Long finish. A "steakhouse" Pinot if there ever was, but a fine example of the genre. |

3/29/2024 - WetRock wrote: NRThe current vineyard selection for this bottling certainly gives a darker, richer wine than in many vintages. the '22 isn't brooding and tannic like last year's. Maybe a little brooding but also brightened up by some citrus intermingling with black cherry, rhubarb and hints of cola. Again more tannic than I would expect. This could use another 6-18 months of stretching but its got lots going on. |
