My last bottle of this wine. Showing very well. Lovely, lifted aromas of red & blue berries, dried herbs and baking spices. Flavors mirror the aromatics. Not the most complex wine but very appealing. There is a density to the fruit without it being overbearing or fatiguing, that I find in Rivers Marie. Still showing supportive acidity and well balanced with a lingering finish. Unabashedly CA PN. Don't be afraid to age these wines, especially the SVDs.

Somewhat cloudy pale color put me of at first, but the great nose gave me hope and the palate confirmed the nose. I really enjoyed it ( my wife did not ). It was a perfect combo of earthiness and cherries. Excellent acidity and long finish. A definite buy for me.

Not my style , did pair well with dinner of leftover thanksgiving. Like an older Burgundy to me and it is not something I like. My wife does so that works

Holding on well. This seems similar to the 2010 Sonoma Coast but maybe with a wee bit more stuffing. Dark cherry.
