Color is really light, mix of ruby and bloody grapefruit. Nose of wet mushroom, spice, fresh cranberry, pomegranate, and strawberry ice cream. Taste follows the nose with addition of substantial zest, good mix of acidity and sweetness. The taste is actually not light but flavorful. Aftertaste shows some more spice and zest. A bit too much zest. Other than that, quite nice. — 3 days ago

This wine hit 18 on top 100 list in 2017. Best known for Sparkling Wines, served at White House since 1985. Pale salmon color, a blend of 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay & aged 3 years prior to release, showing aromas of red fruit with citrus and biscuit notes. On the palate apple, strawberry and cherry flavors with orange zest, earthy yeasty spice and tiny bubbles. The wine is well balanced, good acidity, some yeast and minerality on the long finish. — a day ago

In a good drinking window with soft tannins and the red fruit and spice melding together well. Easy to pair with food. — 9 days ago

Such a treat. Closed initially and opens after a few minutes. Big, graceful, complex, nuanced, this has all of the goods. Ripe red fruits, some tart cherry, blood orange, and pine. Med+ mouthfeel, med acid, med- tannins and a finish that goes and goes. — 8 days ago

Perhaps the best WS I have had so far. Made with a field blend of various clones and 35% whole cluster, which is unusual for this producer. Fantastic nose of fruits, spices, and a touch of graphite. The palate was complex and the finish went on and on. A real treat. — 9 days ago

Beautiful garnet color. Cranberry and plum notes with just a little white pepper. Nice acidity and very vibrant. Another great one from Red Car. Not sure if it will develop further from here - freshness seems to indicate it has the stuff to develop a bit more. — 14 days ago

Ready to drink and generous from the start with bright red fruit, raspberries and cherry that cover your palate with a lush texture and soft tannins. — 2 days ago

My now-annual mid-January sampling of Rivers-Marie Pinot noir in anticipation of the forthcoming release.

Incredible how far this has come in a year. Singing! — 6 days ago

At this price point, pretty amazing pinot. Easy drinking pinot with that had a good mix of fruit forward characteristics as well a great freshness. Likely an easy wine to pair with all kinds of food. Just pop and pour - repeat. Amazing at this price point. — 14 days ago
