Rivers-Marie Pinot Noir, Occidental Ridge Vineyard, Sonoma Coast, 2013

Occidental Ridge Vineyard is situated on a wind-swept, sun drenched promontory above the little town of Occidental on the Sonoma Coast.

Crimson in color. 14.2% ABV. Pretty nose of red fruits, citrus, baking spices and forest floor. Medium body with exquisite acidity. Rich, plush and exceedingly elegant. Black cherry, cranberry, pomegranate and cola on the palate. The finish is exceptionally long and seamless. Classy Pinot Noir that is aging gracefully. What a delight. Best over the next several years.
