Medium ruby color fairly dark for a Pinot. Lots of fruit and oak on the nose. Taste of wild strawberry, spice, cranberry but a bit too much oak. 91 points.

As are most of the RM Pinots, this is a beautiful wine….perfectly balanced with extraordinary flavors. … with many good years ahead. To the reviewer who gave it a 90 score, I can only say that you must have been storing it improperly.
started out with a little head and ripe, but it mellowed out after a short time in the glass. Nice red fruit like sour cherry and and a touch of pomegranate, a touch of spice and baking powder. still closed at this stage. should improve in the next couple years. I do not see this being a long lived wine. So enjoy within the next five years.

Ruby red in colour, indeed darker than Burgundian Pinot. Restrained, cool season. Berry and cherry flavours, wood, herb hints. Concentrated, not too much juice, non-extendable finish. More patience?

Great example of what makes Rivers Marie a leader in Pinot Noir. So much fruit and floral fragrance in perfect balance! It was a terrific bottle
