2017 Rivers-Marie Occidental Ridge Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

13.8% alc., 240 cases, $60. Some whole cluster inclusion. · Moderately dark garnet color in the glass. Very engaging aromas of blackest cherry, cola and dark rose petal. A sleek array of dark red and black stone and berry fruits offer considerable pleasure and excellent energy. Mid weight in extraction, with tender tannins, a hint of nutty oak and a seductively silky mouthfeel. When tasted the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle, the composure was exquisite and the finish gained even more length. Score: 94. Reviewed May 3, 2019
