Very interesting nose of black olive, Iron towards Beef blood, dark cherry. Mature, but charmingly so. This is such an interesting example of a medium bodied Southern Rhone wine.
Aromatics +, medium acidity, the finish medium to long. A wine to savor in the glass.

2014 Rivers-Marie Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast

Purchased from the winery, perfectly stored since.
Needs 30mins in the glass or a splash decant. Nose of strawberry, cherry, a touch of chocolate/cocoa/coffee. Also, a slight fresh raisin note.
Med+ acidity, med-long length, med alcohol. The fruit comes across the palate, but is beginning to fade - starting to dry out, more towards raspberry, slight tartness, but very pleasant. Not a Sonoma fruit bomb. Beautiful lingering finish.

Deep Garnet, fading stewed dark fruit, still lots of Oak. Medium acid, med+ alcohol, some light spice on the finish. You can really taste the 13% Cab on the finish - surprising for a Shiraz dominated wine. Initially tasted blind, thought New World Cab! (BB Night 1).
