{"product_id":"rivers-marie-pinot-noir-sonoma-coast-2024","title":"Rivers-Marie Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2024","description":"This may end up being a one-time bountiful bottling, but it feels good to return this to the makeup of the older Sonoma Coast wines.  There’s the core provided by Riddle Vineyard in Occidental but then there is also some Bearwallow, Silver Eagle, Occidental Ridge, Joy Road, Bodega Thieriot and Summa, essentially a little bit of everything.  This formula always produces a wine more representative of the geographical areas we focus on.  The best part though is the quality.  With this many components, there’s a completeness to the wine that makes it one of the more successful wines in the lineup, odd to say about an appellation wine, but this was obvious as soon as we put the blend together.  Dark crimson in color, there’s immediate appeal to the nose combining the classic Occidental\/Freestone elements of pomegranate, cut hay, lavender and sweetgrass.  Everything here is high toned.  Fruit tannin in 2024 is relatively low due to the size of the crop, so this wine also drinks well now.  A little fruit sweetness balances the youthful acidity and with no new oak interfering with expression, this will go down as one of the most enjoyable Sonoma Coast Pinot Noirs we have ever made.
