Rivers-Marie
Joy Road Vineyard Chardonnay
Sunday night excellence. R-M did themselves proud here. Grace, balance and texture to boot.

Apr 13th, 2021Its come together a bit with a few years in the cellar. A very pretty sonoma coast chard with really bright fruit, a light oak treatment, and plenty of acidity. Drinks well now, but will continue to develop. No rush here.

May 5th, 2018My first RM chard! More lean than TRB’s Shibumi Knoll chard which I’ve really enjoyed. Acidity cuts through the fruit here and goes back and forth between Chablis and Meursault like. The steely nose wants to be Chablis but the Mexican vanilla notes in the finish bring it back from the lean side to a more rich note.

Nov 22nd, 2015First try it seems a little tight, this 2013 needed about 45 minutes to express itself. Touch of oak with distinctive lemon lime flavors that open to a great mouthfeel , Wow! Just a touch drier than the B. Theriot from the same winery Rivers-Marie. Delicious a must I think with food! CB 93+
