The 2024 Rivers-Marie Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is crafted by Rivers-Marie, a small, highly regarded California producer known for elegant, site-driven wines sourced from cool coastal vineyards influenced by Pacific fog and breezes, blending fruit from several West Sonoma Coast sites to create a balanced regional expression.
The wine shows lifted aromas of pomegranate, red cherry, lavender, and subtle savory herbs, followed by a medium-bodied palate with bright acidity, fine tannins, and a silky texture that carries through a fresh, energetic finish.
Its vibrant red-fruit character and restrained oak influence make it especially versatile at the table, pairing well with roasted poultry, salmon, mushroom dishes, charcuterie, or herb-roasted pork, while its purity and structure allow for enjoyable drinking now with the potential for added complexity over the next several years.
