Just released (3/25), the 2023 Rivers Marie Sonoma Coast Pinot is restrained, even reticent. Pinkish violet with a slight bit of plum and violets on the mostly closed nose, it offered a hint of kirsch along with minerality early in. With a little more air, plum, cherry, and dark berries began to emerge. Hopefully time brings this relative bargain in the RM lineup to its historic levels of complexity.

2023 vintage. Maan, do I feel old reviewing this! Sourced from some eminently notable vineyards. Wine rolls up and down and back up again throughout the palate...almost as if you are tasting each vineyard source as stages vs a blend. Def interesting. Light-medium body. May hafta pick this up as a list placement as it is drinking nicely. Absolutely blowing through Oregon pinot tho. Resto pricing at $19 btg (waay too low) and woulda jumped on it but have another CA pinot currently btg that's an even better deal. 11.27.24.
